Why stay in a more prestigious lodge?
As these lodges are usually amongst the longest established safari operators they also tend to have prime locations in the centre of the game reserves.
This can improve the game-viewing experience, and almost as importantly it adds greatly to the feeling of being in the heart of Africa, surrounded by nature.
Luxurious en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, and private decks with plunge pools are the norm for the rooms on offer at these romantic lodges, and the standard of fixtures and fittings is of the highest order.
These establishments set the benchmark for safari operators across Southern Africa - stay at one of these lodges, and you can rest assured that you are experiencing the ultimate luxury safari.
