Stays by biome
A biome is the vegetation a place is made of: the fynbos of the Cape, the savanna of the Lowveld and the Okavango, the thicket of the Eastern Cape valleys, the Karoo scrub and the desert. Each one below lists the stays that sit inside it, so you can choose the landscape before the bed.
SavannaAcacia, mopane and open country, from Kruger to the Mara.
FynbosThe Cape mountains and coast, the smallest floral kingdom on earth.
GrasslandThe high veld and the Berg. Cranes, wildflowers, cold clear nights.
Succulent KarooA desert that flowers. Namaqualand and the Little Karoo.
Albany ThicketDense spekboom country, the plant we are named after.
