Located within or just outside national parks, game reserves lease land from the parks and therefore can host travellers right in the middle of the action, allowing you to experience Africa’s wilderness from as close as the edge of your bed. Private lodges which own their own well-maintained reserves let you get just as close to animals in their natural environment.
In exchange for this unparalleled, fully-immersive experience, the guest rooms we stay in require a little bit of “roughin’ it”. While you’ll still have many of the amenities of a 4-star hotel such as a plush bed and private bathroom, you may have to be comfortable forgoing some of the finer things, such as air conditioning, non-tented walls, or a television. We promise the unbelievable vistas right outside your window or seen from the outdoor pool will provide a much better viewing experience than any flatscreen TV.
