Holiday rentals in Africa
Faced with the diversity of the world’s second largest continent, how do you choose holiday rentals? There are villas, lodges, cottages and wine estates galore... Made up of 53 countries, and limitless cultures and landscapes, the choices are wide open to you. Perhaps you would like to explore the bustling markets of North Africa’s Morocco where you can wander the labyrinthine alleyways. When you’ve had a enough, why not escape to the refuge of a riad for your holiday rental – the traditional Moroccan townhouse, set around a courtyard, often with a plunge pool to cool off in, and a rooftop terrace to have your sundowner. East and Southern Africa are home to the safari – numerous national parks where you can seek out the Big 5, or some of the lesser known African mammals. Here the options for holiday rentals are vast: you can stay in lodges, or in self catering huts and holiday houses.

South Africa itself is Africa’s most popular holiday rentals destination; you can be tasting wine in the country’s famous Stellenbosch wine region, stay in an apartment in lively Cape Town, or head for the east of the country and rent a lodge on the edge of the Kruger National Park, or a farmhouse on a game reserve. Away from Africa’s mainland, are numerous islands, both large and small. From Lamu and Zanzibar to Madagascar and the Seychelles, if you are seeking the beach life, then there are numerous options. East of the African mainland you’ll find (amongst others) the Seychelles, best known as a honeymoon holiday rentals destination, Zanzibar – Africa’s ‘spice island’ and Madagascar, home to countless rare species of flora and fauna. Or go West of the mainland in search of a holiday home on the Cape Verde islands; wild, volcanic islands off the coast of Senegal. Whatever you are looking for in your African holiday rental, you are likely to find it!
