Top 5 Pools with a View on African Safari
During the heat of the day the animals like to relax, and so you also get some down time. Most luxury safari camps and lodges will have a pool but it is those with the most spectacular pools in Africa we'd like to bring to your attention. There is nothing quite like lounging in an infinity pool in the heat of the day, watching the wildlife amble about below you, while swallows dip in and out of the crystal clear water you're relaxing in. We all know Africa is special, but little touches like this make it even more so.
