You could stay at a traditional luxury safari camp offering the same old, same old experience – or you could book The Zarafa Dhow Suite, a tented 2,260-square-foot villa on a raised deck with canvas walls, at the 320,000-acre Selinda Reserve.
The suite is outfitted with two bedrooms, each with copper claw-foot tubs, a lounge and dining area, leather couches and chairs, a firepit, a private plunge pool and large wooden decks overlooking the reserve, where giraffes, lions and elephants roam freely.
The villa properties are adjacent to the Zarafa Camp, a Relais & Chateaux property, and will set you back $9,120 per night.
