Best Baths In Zambia
There are not a whole lot of safari lodges and camp that take bath time (or shower time) as seriously as we think they should, picture this, an establishment in the middle of nowhere, not another soul for miles and miles in any direction, yet, the bath is located inside the suite, behind a wall with a view through a window of the amazing natural surroundings.
We say, if the location of one's safari suite is private enough, put the baths on the outside.
Now imagine sitting in a bubble bath, a glass of bubbly (or beer) in hand, totally relaxing under the African sky, one with nature while the wildlife and birdlife of Zambia pass you by. Can we think of a better way to spend 30 minutes or so? And that answer would be definitely, no.
Below is our favourite selection of lodges and camps, all located within Zambia, that offer up the most amazing bathtub locations.
