African Flair Boutique Safari Lodge

In the vicinity of Hoedspruit and Kruger National Park, there are many famous and luxurious hotels, but this place is something entirely new – a one-of-a-kind designer boutique hotel that accommodates only one party per night. (Such hotels seemed quite rare in this area!) I was traveling solo, and this place turned out to be perfect in terms of both budget and ambiance! When I actually visited, I was thrilled beyond imagination by this lovely hotel. It ranks among the best I've ever stayed at, and I strongly want to stay here again. Here are some of my favorite aspects: ⚫︎ Being the only guests, you can enjoy your time without any worry, relishing in your own pace. (For couples, it's a perfect setting to enjoy quality time together!) ⚫︎ The owner, who is extremely friendly and exudes hospitality, welcomes you warmly. Her husband is a true gentleman and equally warm-hearted as well. ⚫︎ The modern African interior is super adorable. ⚫︎ The room is incredibly spacious and surrounded by tasteful interiors, making it feel almost too extravagant for a solo traveler. ⚫︎ What I particularly loved was the canopy bed and the bathtub facing the garden. There's both an indoor and outdoor shower in the room, allowing you to have extraordinary experiences like showering under the starry sky or soaking in the bathtub while watching the morning sun. (The owner reassured, 'Don't worry, only the animals can see your bath time!') ⚫︎ Furthermore! Upstairs, there's another bedroom where you can sleep under the stars. On the second night, with clear skies and the sound of lions in the distance, I had the best experience of sleeping under a perfect starry night and waking up to the sounds of birds. ⚫︎ The hotel also features a large pool between the entrance and the room, which seems perfect for summer relaxation. (Unfortunately, it was still too cold for me to use during this visit.) In any case, everything about this place is extraordinary, offering the best hotel experience
