Conde Nast Traveler says..."This property, set beneath giant acacia trees and beside a natural spring, lies in the shadow of Kilimanjaro. "Watching hundreds of monkeys walking single file to the river to get a drink in the morning was the highlight of my vacation." Inspired by local Masai primary colors and shapes, "attractive and comfortable rooms" are furnished with African murals painted by a local artist. "The staff knew us on a first-name basis and vice versa. It was the best service and friendliest atmosphere I've ever encountered at a hotel." All meals are served at the main restaurant; "plentiful buffets include local specialties, but the food is just okay." The "unbeatable location" provides the opportunity to see elephants, lions, baboons, and more than 450 species of birds." ~From cntraveler.com

Juicy TidbitsConde Nast Traveler says..."The specs: A family-owned retreat in the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve, on the edge of the Kalahari, with reliable sightings of the Big Five and the elusive wild dog. The largest of the three guest lodges has 12 suites that open onto private viewing decks with plunge pools and outdoor showers. Two smaller lodges, with four suites apiece, are geared to couples and private parties. The look: Like giant termite mounds immersed in dense bush on a hillside, the thatched buildings epitomize rustic chic. The organic-shaped, earth-textured walls and understated, comfortable interiors play second fiddle to the expansive views of passing wildlife and dramatic skies. The experience: Proximity to Johannesburg makes this a desirable weekend destination for well-heeled locals, who drive or fly in to sip morning coffee while watching the sun creep over the Marico River, observe elephants mud-bathing in the river, and experience the thrill of the chase when wild dogs are in the area. The lodge's switched-on team pulls together each day effortlessly. Rangers teach bush survival skills, from tracking animals to identifying edible bulbs. " ~From cntraveler.com
