I stay at\u00a0Rhino Post Safari Lodge<\/a>\u00a0with a friend who is a serious meditator. Half way through our stay I inquire how her meditation sessions are going and am surprised when she replies \u201cTerribly!\u201d Shocked, I ask “Why?” and she explains \u201cIt\u2019s just too beautiful here. I can\u2019t bear to close my eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Your

Your own private game viewing deck, with bar fridge with icy cold drinks just to the right!<\/p><\/div>\n

This sums up my experience too. I practice my own form of mindfulness bathing in the luxurious bath overlooking the dry river bed and reflect that this is one of the most beautiful accommodation spaces which the Kruger National Park has to offer. Each thatched suite faces onto the river bed, with wooden walkways all behind the rooms for maximal privacy. The front of the full length and the sides of the suite are completely open, and this open design allows the cool breeze to flow in from every angle. Ice cold drinks may be taken from your own bar fridge to your deck with two comfortable Morris chairs and footrest futons, creating your own private outdoor lounge from which you can view the Kruger National Park game all day long.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Showering

Showering under open African skies is one for the Bucket List<\/p><\/div>\n

Glamorous double basins, a freestanding bath and outdoor shower means you view high definition screens onto your own private wildlife reality show from every direction.<\/p>\n

The spacious bed has an African-style cover and patterned cushions. The cool white linen and mosquito net mean you can sleep with all the sides of your suite open, with a feeling of being in a treehouse. The sound of wildlife can be heard all night and you are fully aware of being in the wilds of Africa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"The

The thoughtful turndown service at night includes letting down your romantic mosquito net<\/p><\/div>\n

At this open and natural safari lodge, every moment of every day can become a meditation on the beauty of nature, to be appreciated in open-eyed wonder and stillness.<\/p>\n
