After a full day of driving around, spotting leopards and taking selfies with elephants (elfies anyone?), it can be a treat to come home, shower the dust off, and lie down with a good book in a real bed.
But if springing for luxury lodging isn't in the cards this year, that doesn't mean sleeping on the ground is your only option. There are many beautiful lodges scattered throughout the region which offer comfort and serenity at prices that won't send you running in the other direction as fast a cheetah.
Amenities
