- 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.

- 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.

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.
