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!

Logement très bien situé pour un retour de randonnée au volcan ou dans les environs. Le plus : une vue magnifique sur les montagnes et le piton des neiges. Accueil très sympathique de Serge à notre arrivée qui est resté disponible pendant tout le séjour pour des conseils. Merci.

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

Très bel accueil, très joli endroit , le cadre est magnifique. Nous avons apprécié le charme du chalet en bois. Une vue magnifique sur la mer lors du petit déjeuner. Si vous recherchez un séjour au calme , n’hésitez pas.

Nous avons passé un excellent week-end chez Nicole. Le logement est très fonctionnel et bien équipé. Le jardin est splendide. Les équipements extérieurs sont de grande qualité (magnifique piscine à débordement, barbecue, balançoire, panier de basket-ball). Nicole et Simon se sont montrés très prévenants et attentionnés. Nous conseillons les yeux fermés leur logement et nous y reviendrons avec plaisir. 😉

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!

Séjour de 2 semaines au gîte de Catherine. Dans la préparation de notre séjour, Catherine a toujours répondu très rapidement (dont transmission de l'adresse pour organiser la location de voiture). Le gîte est composé de 2 cases distanguant les espaces de vie jour et nuit, reliés par une grande terrasse. Il est très joli, remarquablement propre, et entouré d'un jardin magnifique. A notre arrivée, une composition de fruits frais nous attendait, ainsi qu'un petit pot de miel de baies roses, récolté les jours précédents par le mari de Catherine. Nos hôtes ont été disponibles tout en restant très discrets. Enfin, la situation du gîte nous a permis de découvrir toute la partie sud de l'île, dont les cirques de Cilaos et Salazie, ainsi que la côte est. Adresse que nous conseillons donc en toute confiance, et que nous retenons de notre côté pour un futur séjour ! Belle suite à Catherine pour son activité !

nous avons passé un excellent séjour de 3 semaines dans le petit chalet avec terrasse et piscine et garage privé, tout etait très propre et au calme , il n'y a eu aucun soucis et très réactif aux demandes, je recommande fortement cette location très paisible. merci encore 🤗

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.

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.
