Villas, cottages and apartments are among some of the many different kinds of non-hotel accommodations that can be rented in popular African holiday destinations. These provide ideal environments for families or holidaymakers who like to self-cater and enjoy other freedoms and privacies permitted by such rentals. Logically, the more popular destinations offer a greater selection of choices so the well-known package tour resorts in South Africa, Tunisia, Mauritius, Egypt, Kenya, Morocco and the Seychelles are more likely to have that four-bedroom, self-catering apartment with a private pool that you are looking for rather than small backwater settings in Djibouti, Malawai or Somalia. Prices can vary considerably, but you generally get what you pay for here.
