Explore the African countryside up close and personal and be one with nature at this family-friendly retreat. Rock accents, natural wood, and polished stone floors flow throughout the interior. Fully retractable glass doors create a seamless flow between the main living area and the vast terrace. A French press of dark-roast coffee can be savored in the morning on the plump sofa under the pergola.

The elongated, heated swimming pool provides a place to swim and escape the balmy atmosphere. A private chef is included for all of your culinary wishes; dine fire-side in the outdoor boma. Strategically placed lanterns illuminate the property after dark with a soft glow. A soothing soak in the bathtub features views onto the bushveld beyond; the double rain shower flawlessly mimics a genuine downpour. Of course, what getaway would be complete without an elevated pampering session? Plenty of indulgences are included, from manicures and facials to massage therapy, incorporating local botanicals. Uncork a bottle of the region’s best wine and toast beneath the starlit sky.

Bush tours, in the morning and late afternoon, are the most immersive way to see animals in their natural habitat. Experienced guides take you out through the plains in open-air, electric vehicles—part of their sustainable efforts on the safari—which are quiet enough not to frighten away potential sightings. Another bonus: heated seats make the trip all the more luxurious when the temperature dips. How many of the sought-after Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffalo) can you find?
