We've tracked down the best safari lodges that provide lavish comfort in the wild with a touch of romance. After a long day on safari, honeymooners retreat to their own private tree house at Ngong House. Located on 10 acres, the lodge has the feel of a remote African outpost even though it is only 20 minutes from downtown Nairobi. Newlyweds should request one of the rooms with a queen-size bed. The lodge arranges game and sightseeing excursions for guests, who then need only pay entrance fees.
Guests can spot animals such as zebra, whitetail gnu and springbuck during daily game rides.
Be sure not to miss the bushmen rock paintings and cultural tour. Each dwelling is outfitted with fireplace and Victorian bath. Guests can take in the view of the adjacent gorge and waterfalls from their private decks. Lions, leopards and elephants are just a few of the creatures spotted roaming freely on the grounds, which are part of the Welgevonden Game Reserve. Staff members escort guests back to their chalets to help ward off unscheduled wildlife encounters.
