Hidden Gems of Africa Accommodation

Camps, lodges and beach hotels we use on a hidden gem trip, from the first city night to the last morning in the bush or on the coast.

Best camps and lodges for hidden gem safaris

A hidden gem stay is usually two or three nights in one place, long enough for a second game drive or a day when you do nothing. The camps below are the ones we plan in.

Each card shows the published rate per person sharing, the stay, a location pin, and the activities travellers use on those itineraries. Filter by who is travelling, the stay type and the meal plan. The room is confirmed on the quote.
