Sleep-Outs in Southern Africa

•
Forget the luxury mod-cons and forgo a roof over your head for an unforgettable night sleeping under a blanket of brilliant bright African stars on an open-air bed.
Set on a squeaky-soft white beach on the shores of Mozambique's Lake Niassa, Nkwichi Lodge has a special ‘Lake of Stars Bed’ 10 minutes from the lodge. Spend a spellbinding night enjoying a private dinner before being left alone to sleep under the stars on a secluded beach. Wake to a magical view of the crystal clear lake and be whisked off for a bush breakfast under a baobab tree.
From the tropical oasis of Lake Niassa to the burnt orange vistas of the Kalahari… Experience an exceptional sleep-out at Tswalu Kalaha in South Africa. The Malori (meaning ‘dreamer’ in Tswana) is their sleeping deck which lets guests sleep alone in the wilderness under these fabled diamond skies. Creature comforts include a comfy king size bed dressed in Egyptian cotton, an outdoor toilet, basin and shower located down a candlelit pathway, and simple bush furniture to snuggle up on including a cushioned sofa. Watch as the sun dips over the Kalahari and the moon rises behind you, and wake at sunrise to the sound of birdsong.
