Private villas and houses

Perfect for families or groups of friends, we have an array of wonderful private houses and villas in Cape Town and Hermanus in South Africa. In addition, in Kenya, there are the breathtaking Alfajiri Villas in Kenya, cottages on Watamu, and several houses in Laikipia ranging from the sumptious Laragai to the more down to earth Lewa - and of course lovely Loisaba. There are also some stunning villas in Namibia at both Okonjima and Etosha.

We can also offer private houses in the Waterberg Region in South Africa, such as at Ants Nest and Jembisa as well as Pitse for those wanting to see more game. Elsewhere, as suggestions, Phinda in KwaZulu Natal has Phinda Zuka Lodge (just four cottages) and Phinda Getty House. Fairview is a Cape Dutch House suitable for two families in Plettenberg Bay and Ntwala Island Lodge, in Namibia has just four stilted suites, each with private plunge pools.

Zambia has the perfect circuit for those wanting to travel in a large party, or celebrating an occasion. We can offer private houses in the south Luangwa Valley; for instance Luangwa House in the Chindeni Hills or Robin Pope's House at Nkwali, and there is Chongwe River House on the lower Zambezi. At Livingstone (the Zambian side of the Victoria Falls) our favourite is Tangala House, featured in House and Garden's Interiors. Tangala comes complete with private guide, chef and staff to include babysitting. There is a swimming pool and, for those that must, even television!
