Ultimate Comfort on Safari

Filed in archive Luxury Travel on December 21, 2007

For me, there has always been a mystique surrounding safaris. These sightseeing missions have a long and storied history.

Safari. That's what English royalty does when they get bored with their privileged lives on their foggy island, isn't it? Today, safaris still seem adventurous and exotic, and still vaguely colonial. But, hey, if you are going to go, you might as well go all out. This is Singita, a private game reserve that sits directly adjacent to Kruger National Park in South Africa.



No need to rough it here. Not only are you virtually assured of seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes, you can retire after a hard day of wielding binoculars to 5-star accommodations. Singita boasts that is designed for comfort and experience. I'm sure you won't have to worry about picking up three square meals a day, but you probably will have to worry about which bottle of wine to choose (Singita boasts an extensive wine cellar).

I'm sure there are cheaper safari experiences out there, but perhaps, you get what you pay for.
