When the dawn chorus of birds and monkeys begins outside, step out of your luxurious tent onto the private veranda outside and watch the bush around you come to life. While away an hour or two in the deep leather chairs on the veranda, looking out onto the endless African plains, with their abundant herds of wildlife. On a hot day, swap the shade of the forest for a dip in the sparkling lap pool.
