Various factors like - food, stuff, and location have rightfully given Singita the reputation for providing the smoothest safari experience in Africa. The Pamushana Lodge is also no exception. The terrain here is much different than other destinations in this region. Here the soil is deep red. Gigantic boulders and sandstone outcrops appear on the landscape. Eighty-seven documented rock-art sites and ancient baobab tree forests adorn the territory. These variations and diversity prevent the monotony from creeping in, even after several days of walking and driving with the brilliant guides and spotting large herds of wildlife like elephants, buffaloes, wild dogs, big cats, etc. The lodge's hilltop suites are decorated with a lighter aesthetic, but this doesn't diminish the richness in texture. These lodges overlook the Malilangwe dam, thus facilitating the guests with boat-based birding and game fishing, and regular activities. The food is modern, nourishing and the food source is sustainable. The staff is also pretty impressive. 

3. Angama Mara, Great Rift Valley, Kenya

The tents being perched on the cliff, the entire Masai mara is open for the guests to look from their tents' comfort. The design of the suites is comparatively more modern and sophisticated than the other safari lodges. At sunrise, hot air balloons flow by, and a very spectacular view of other wildlife is available at this level. During migration, the predator action of a wildebeest crossing is pretty nearby.

And finally, the staff is heart-warmingly cordial.

Artful resting, curated bodywork, wilderness walking,  ancient firms of sound therapy, and yoga in the surrounds of the expansive wilderness presence is offered here along with the safari under the management of "Healing House Wellness Centre," as according to Terry Tempest Williams, "Wilderness reminds us what it means to be human, what we are connected to rather than what we are separate from."

5. Legend Hotel Lagos Airport, Nigeria

"Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates? You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted, and you see it all from above."

- Francesca Marciano (Italian novelist and filmmaker; extract from “Rules of the Wild”)

“To witness that calm rhythm of life revives our worn souls and recaptures a feeling of belonging to the natural world. No one can return from the Serengeti unchanged, for tawny lions will forever prowl our memory and great herds throng our imagination.

- George Schaller (American conservationist and author)

These two quotes precisely indicate how a tour in Africa can cleanse the soul. So, whenever life becomes so stressful, you forget to live, travel to Africa, and rejoice in life. Reflect upon what it means to exist and unravel at the beauty of the vast world.
