Nature

Built on stilts around prime grazing ground, the Salt Lick Lodge is one tasty proposition. Located in over 9000 square miles of protected terrain covering Western Kenya, the Lodge offers you the chance to view a menagerie of wildlife within a living ecosystem. The lodge has many terraces where you can watch animals come and drink at the nearby waterholes. There are also underground passages leading to camouflaged bunkers, so you can observe exotic species as they can exist without humans.

Salt Lick is part of a larger animal sanctuary that offers a protective refuge for larger species such as Giraffes, Elephants, and Buffalo. You can go on game drives to observe some of the larger residents at night, and great care is taken not to disturb the animals. The restaurant and bar is the highest point among the lodge’s unique 96 room complex. From there, you will have panoramic views of the ancient birthplace of life on Earth.

Capitol Reef Resort - Wagons, Teepees, And A Park Utah Forgot To Brag About

A single photograph did it: covered wagons parked against blood-red cliffs, looking more like a Western film set than a working hotel. It turns out the wagons are real, they're bookable, and they sit a mile from the entrance to one of Utah's quietest national parks - one so overshadowed …

Ulaman Eco Luxury Resort - A Bamboo Sanctuary In The Tabanan Jungle

There's a version of "eco resort" that means a few solar panels and a sign about towel reuse. Ulaman is not that. This is a place where the walls are literally compressed earth, the staircases are woven bamboo, and there's a hand-carved wine cave hidden behind a stone wall that …

Gobi Caravanserai - The Desert Lodge at the End of the World

Dundgovi Province in southern Mongolia is not on most people's radar, which is precisely the point. The Gobi Desert here is vast, dry, and almost completely silent - a semi-arid steppe that nomads have traditionally called the "Steppe to Get Lost." Gobi Caravanserai sits in the middle of it, next …
