Africa has some of the most beautiful safari lodges in the world, and it provides the traveler with the opportunity to experience pure wilderness with a level of luxury they have never imagined before. These lodges give a balance between comfort and adventure, as in Botswana desert camps, South Africa with its legendary game reserves, and Kenya with its Maasai Mara. Every property offers different experiences, be it stargazing in treetop beds, eating next to elephants, or waking up to the expansive view of the savannah. Such lodges would be perfect during honeymoons, family visits, or individual travels; they would have the spirit of Africa, yet on the other hand, one would not miss the closeness to nature.
