Accommodations on the African continent come in a wide range of styles and standards with the more popular tourist destinations offering a greater selection of establishments at a higher quality. Well known North African destinations such as Egypt, Tunisia and Morocco are home to resorts appealing to package holidaymakers and offer a range of accommodations to suit. Venture into eastern Africa, where destinations such as Kenya cater to safari enthusiasts, and you'll find hotels of international standard as opposed to bamboo huts in the thick of the jungle. South Africa is a mixed bag with mid-range and pricey upmarket establishments, as well as a number of places catering to the burgeoning backpacker scene. You can venture into homesteads and offer locals a few dollars for a night in a thatch-roofed mud hut if it's an authentic experience you are looking for, but otherwise comfort and luxury are rarely difficult to find.
