Safari Bathroom

In southern and East Africa we have landscapes boasting sweeping bushveld views, wide open plains of mixed woodland and savanna, meandering rivers, wild coastlines; and hypnotic skies hovering above. Our wildlife roams freely throughout these landscapes, coming alive at dawn and dusk. The calls of Africa sound across flowing rivers, endless horizons and the rolling savannas. Africa – she is exquisite in her wild beauty and untamed nature.

The best way to take advantage of wild and untamed Africa is to create a serene hub of  luxury that allows you to immerse your senses while providing an escape from everyday life. An outdoor bathroom is the quintessential place to make your already tranquil safari escalate by a notch or two. A bath overlooking the wilderness? Well that's just a sliver of luxury in the midst of the raw bushveld.

The below lodges have the most amazing bathrooms, each designed to take advantage of the spectacular views of the wilderness beyond. Whether it's a copper tub filled with bubbles under the stars, or a plunge bath surrounded by natural stone, these places offers an outdoor safari bathroom experience worth their weight in gold – or bubbles!

&Beyond Lake Manyara Tree Lodge

Located in an ancient mahogany forest in a remote corner of Tanzania in the Lake Manyara National Park lies this exquisite treehouse lodge. The park is home to the famous tree climbing lions and boasts plenty of other incredible game viewing opportunities. The tree lodge is the ideal spot for a bathroom with a view. How can you resist Tanzania's best bath with a view?

Madikwe Hills Main Lodge

Madikwe Hills is located in a malaria-free area in the heart of the Madikwe Game Reserve. Perched on a hilltop overlooking the big five reserve, this five-star lodge certainly offers commanding views of rugged bushveld. The service, cuisine and overall experience is high end, but the most enchanting feature of all is that bathtub. Oh, that bathtub.

A beautiful ball-and-claw, a deep bath is neatly placed on a patio that spills out from your private room. Drink champagne, and watch elephants while you immerse yourself in an indulgent bubble bath.

Sanctuary Baines Camp, Botswana

Baines Camp is cocooned by the Okavango Delta's sparkling waters and offers an intimate safari experience in the midst of emerald green, lush vegetation. There are only five suites which mean personalised attention from staff.  The camp is in its own concession in the Moremi and sits on raised wooden platforms high above the Boro River.

The best way to celebrate the astounding views? To relax in the massive outdoor area that has an "opulent star bath" as the central focus.
