Chalet holiday rentals in East Africa

We absolutely loved our stay at Cambalala, Kruger Park Lodge and wished we could’ve stayed longer. It had everything we needed, the decor was beautiful, we really appreciated the daily service/ clean and the staff at the lodge were really helpful. Such a great base for day trips into Kruger. Chevon/ Raymond were always helpful and responsive. Can’t wait to go back!

Very well located accommodation for a return hike to the volcano or the surrounding area. The plus: a magnificent view of the mountains and the Piton des Neiges. Very friendly welcome from Serge on our arrival who remained available throughout the stay for advice. Thank you.

Great stay, a cute cottage on a pond, visited by loads of beautiful birds. A very peaceful spot in busy Nairobi.

Very nice welcome, very nice place , the setting is beautiful. We enjoyed the charm of the wooden chalet. Beautiful sea views at breakfast. If you are looking for a quiet stay, don't hesitate.

We had a great weekend at Nicole's place. The accommodation is very functional and well equipped. The garden is splendid. Outdoor amenities are of high quality (beautiful infinity pool, BBQ, swing, basketball basket). Nicole and Simon were very considerate and thoughtful. We recommend their place with our eyes closed and we will gladly go back. 😉

This Airbnb was perfect for a getaway from Dar. It is far enough out to feel like you have traveled (but not too far to feel you can’t afford the travel expense). The rooms are so beautifully decorated with a mixture of old and new for a quaint, beach feel. The kitchen… oh I will dream of this kitchen for the rest of my life! The staff was helpful and kind. The communication was quick and clear. Need to get away but don’t want to go too far… this is the place for you!

2-week stay at Catherine's cottage. In the preparation of our stay, Catherine always responded very quickly (including sending the address to organize the car rental). The cottage is composed of 2 boxes separating the living and sleeping areas, connected by a large terrace. It is very pretty, remarkably clean, and surrounded by a beautiful garden. Upon our arrival, a fresh fruit arrangement awaited us, as well as a small jar of pink berry honey, collected the previous days by Catherine's husband. Our hosts were available while remaining very discreet. Finally, the location of the cottage allowed us to discover the entire southern part of the island, including the cirques of Cilaos and Salazie, as well as the east coast. An address that we therefore recommend with confidence, and that we will remember for a future stay! Great follow-up to Catherine for her activity!

we had a great 3-week stay in the small chalet with terrace and pool and private garage, everything was very clean and quiet, there were no problems and very responsive to requests, I highly recommend this very peaceful rental. thank you again 🤗

Our stay at the lodges was fantastic. They cared for our family gathering (8 people of varying ages) professionally and with charm. The hosts gave us many recommendations as well as information about the local area. They were friendly, without being intrusive. The rooms were spotless, and the facilities were well maintained, with a stunning swimming pool. We would definitely stay here again.

We enjoyed our stay at the Kingdom. The unit was very comfortable and as described. The location is close to Sun City and other amenities. Staff were very friendly. We would return.

Our recent stay at Zumbane Lodge was nothing short of magical the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking scenic views. Nestled in nature’s embrace, the lodge offers a serene atmosphere that instantly calms the soul. Whether it was gazing at the rolling hills or listening to the sounds of nature, the setting provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The lodges themselves were wonderfully comfortable. The beds were cozy, ensuring restful nights for everyone. The highlight for our group, especially the children, was the amazing pool. Clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning natural views, it was the perfect spot for relaxation and fun. Zumbane Lodge is truly a hidden gem in Zimbabwe. Whether you’re looking for a family getaway, a retreat with friends, or a tranquil solo escape, this lodge delivers on every front. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend!

Beautiful home in a very convenient location. Close to giraffe center, elephant center, local shopping and easy access to airports. The staff was wonderful and cooked a last minute meal for when our UberEats order was canceled. Would highly recommend.

What a great surprise - the location on the lagoon is breathtaking. We saw the most incredible sunset, 2 nights in a row. Great food and service at the on-site restaurant, at decent prices (the rest of Mozam is very expensive to eat out). The nearby beach (2km) was beautiful and deserted. Thoroughly recommended.

A great place to relax at right by the shores the Zambezi River. Great surroundings. Host very friendly and helpful.

We had a wonderful stay. Peaceful next to the water. Kitchen well equipped. Clean and fresh bedding. Had a nice braai, was even offered wood and ice. We will definitely be back.

great place in nice surrounding. great for larger groups

I’m so happy I found Patrick’s Acacia Lodge on Airbnb. I am also thankful it was available as it was a last minute booking. I consider myself lucky. This lodge is one you will keep coming back to whenever you visit Kariba. Every morning upon waking up I had to pinch myself because it didn’t feel real. It was that good. I think what was the icing on the cake though was Freddy the Chef. This gentleman made our stay. He was so attentive and his cooking is better than what you’re going to get at the hotels. Without a doubt. I would like to think that we tipped him well but no matter how much we did I don’t think it could ever be enough. Thank you so much Freddy and for the Super Host Patrick, your place is a gem. Thank you for the hospitality and making our stay so memorable.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at Samawati. The serene environment is a beautiful space to unwind and reconnect. Rachel was very responsive, as well as Bernice the caretaker. I’d totally recommend this place especially to families looking for a cool serene environment.

Gary was in touch before and during our stay will any necessary information, and was always willing to assist. It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Sunset Creek.

Very peaceful and safe. The hosts are very responsive and give direct instructions. Would definitely visit the place again. Great stay.
