UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Africa

The natural and cultural World Heritage Sites we host stays near, from the Cape Floral Region to the Serengeti.

These parks and landscapes carry UNESCO World Heritage status, either in their own right or as a component of a larger inscribed site. Each page lists the closest places to stay, and every booking funds the conservation work that keeps them on the list.

32 places

Each one opens on the park page with the nearest stays, sorted by distance.
