Luxury Safari Packages in Africa: 10 Safari Lodges That Belong On Your Bucket List (2 of 6)

2. Sossusvlei Lodge, Namibia

The most striking feature at the Sossusvlei Desert Lodge is the bright orange landscape that leaves you with the impression that you’re on Mars. You’ll encounter oryx, springbok, and ostriches living their best lives. The lodge recently underwent major renovations that allow it to better blend in with its environment. Who wouldn’t dream of waking up and going for a brief stroll while basking in the peace and solitude of the desert?

3. Boulders Lodge, South Africa

There are dozens of world-class safari lodges in South Africa, making it impossible to definitively declare any particular one as the “best.” But if you’re looking to see the animals up close, this is the place to be. One guest remarked that while she was relaxing out on her deck, she discovered a young elephant drinking from her pool and then walking over to greet her! Turns out, it’s a fairly common occurrence over there.
