Top 5 Baths with a View

2 min read

After a long, hot, dusty day exploring all the extraordinary marvels of an African safari, there is nothing quite like slipping into a warm, bubble-filled bath.

(made even better when accompanied by the bubbles from a crisp sparkling wine, naturally)

Well, you're in luck, many of our favourite camps and lodges, have some rather mind-blowing baths set in the most implausible locations. 

Check out our Top 5 Baths with a View below:


Gomoti Plains Camp

Gomoti Plains Camp

Set in Botswana’s Okavango Delta Gomoti Plains is a beautiful camp found perched on the edge of the Gomoti River System. If your water levels are running a bit low, just call a friendly resident elephant to top it up. 


Royal Chundu Island Lodge

Royal Chundu Island Lodge

Found just outside Livingstone, Zambia, Royal Chundu is one of the very top options for the Victoria Falls. After a day exploring the Falls, this bath has to right up there with the most relaxing in the world. Listen to the mighty Zambezi quietly flow past as you scrub-up for supper. 


Alex Walker's Serian ‘The Original’

Alex Walker's Serian ‘The Original’

The safari of years gone by, Alex Walker’s Serian Tented Camp ‘The Original’ in Kenya’s Masai Mara, is beautifully tucked away in a remote pristine part of the Mara. 

The camp is full of charm. As you can tell by looking at this bath, the camp focus is on good old-fashioned safari fun, filled with character. Can you spot the elephant?


Madikwe Hills Private Camp

Madikwe Hills Private Camp

Found in South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve, Madikwe Hills is one of the top options for the reserve set overlooking the open scrub-land. 

Watching a pride of lions swan by while having a soak is not unheard of. 


Old Mondoro Camp

Old Mondoro Camp

The stunning Old Mondoro Camp stretches out along a hippo-friendly channel off the Zambezi, this camp is always full of action. 

The amount of wildlife you can see from your bath would challenge the opening sequence to the Lion King. 


BONUS: Barclay Stenner Mobile Safaris

Barclay Stenner Mobile Safaris

Ok, so not technically a bath as such. But a great spot for a dip! Barclay Stenner run outstanding ‘back to basics’ private mobile safaris through Botswana
