Choose the right accommodation and you could find yourself seeing elephants, giraffes and more without stirring an inch from your private heated plunge pool. It’s the most indulgent way to safari imaginable – you won’t even have to put down your glass unless you want to take a photograph. In South Africa, you’ll find lodges and camps with en-suite pools everywhere from the Western and Eastern Cape to the Kruger. For a truly pampering alternative, though – perfect for a honeymoon or special occasion – the lavish tents at Kenya’s luxurious Mara Bushtops come with hot tubs and 24-hour butler service for the ultimate not-lifting-a-finger sundowner experience.
