We especially loved the Singita Sweni Lodge in South Africa. The level of care the lodge provides to its guests is unparalleled. We were fortunate to have an amazing guide and tracker, who spotted all of the “Big Five” animals on our first safari drive. The food and wine in the lodge restaurant, and the amenities in our room were far beyond what we expected in the wilds of South Africa.
