Baths with views in Africa
  • Cottars 1920s Camp

    Cottars 1920s offers a bath time reminiscent of Africa's explorer days, a bath that is both simple and basic but the views are something to behold. Would you say no to a bath like this? We certainly would not!

  • Ruckomechi Camp

    Described as the "bath with a view", positioned in a completely private area of Ruckomechi Camp this scenic bath is one of the many highlights you will encounter. Bath time with hippos and elephants passing just a few metres away, what could be better?

  • The Hide Hwange

    The Hide Hwange offers only two tented suites with baths that offer views over the wildlife-rich waterhole, so relax with a glass of wine (or beer) in hand and watch some of Hwange's famous wildlife come down for a drink.

  • Abu Camp

    It is not surprising that one of Africa's most luxurious (and expensive) camps offers up one of Africa's best baths. The views from the tub are spectacular, lying there in absolute privacy watching the Okavango Delta's wildlife and birdlife, what could be better.

  • Pom Pom Camp

    The above photograph says it all, a bath in a 100% natural environment. But there a catch, only one tented suite that offers this, so when booking make the point that you want the room with the best bath ever.

  • Londolozi Granite Suites

    That fact that each suite at Londolozi Granite Suites has a private, heated swimming pool is not enough, the masters that are Londolozi have added some of the best baths in the whole of Africa, never mind the Kruger region of South Africa.

  • Tintswalo Atlantic

    Without question, the views from any of the baths at Tintswalo Atlantic are the best that Cape Town can offer, ask anybody who has stayed here and ask them what the best room is - they will always say the bathroom.

  • Sable Alley

    The honeymoon suite at Sable Alley offers guests a bathtub with some of the best views in the Okavango. A quiet and private wooden deck sports an outdoor shower and a free-standing bathtub large enough for two adults, a truly romantic area.
