Today (April 4, 2016): Top 10 most luxurious safari lodges in Africa.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Africa offers some of the\u00a0best wildlife viewing opportunities<\/a>\u00a0in the world.\u00a0The \u201cBig Five\u201d (lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo, and the elusive leopard) take the center stage on a safari but the smaller, less glamorous\u00a0animals (like impalas, zebras and hyenas) can be just as fun and exciting to see. When it comes to safaris, nothing can beat the observation of the Great Migration in Tanzania’s Serengeti or Kenya’s Masai Mara. Other great safari destinations are the Okavango Delta in Botswana and Kruger National Park in South Africa. No wonder that Africa’s 10 most luxurious safari lodges are all located\u00a0within these areas. The majority of them is operated by the 3 most luxurious safari companies on the continent: &Beyond<\/a>,\u00a0Wilderness Safaris<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Singita<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Do you agree or have a favorite\u00a0safari lodge\u00a0that didn\u2019t make my list? Leave it in the comments<\/strong>\u00a0or take my\u00a0poll<\/strong>\u00a0below.<\/p>\n

10. &BEYOND NGORONGORO CRATER LODGE, TANZANIA<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

This lodge is located right on the rim of the ancient volcanic Ngorongoro caldera, offering not only some of the best views in Africa, but also the possibility of a classic Big 5 safari as the crater floor is teaming with wildlife. Room interiors are reminiscent of an elegant baroque ch\u00e2teau (brocade sofas, gilt mirrors, beaded chandeliers and paneled walls).\u00a0<\/span>Ensuite bathrooms with a centrepiece of fresh roses feature huge showers and chandelier-lit bathtubs, while floor-to-ceiling windows ensure breath-taking views from all around of the incredible game-rich Crater.\u00a0Versailles meets Masai in this unique African lodge!<\/p>\n
