<\/strong><\/p>\nBisate Lodge, Volcanoes National Park, Rwanda<\/a><\/h2>\nThere are a gazillion African safari lodges offering out of this world gorilla trek, but none of them quite like Bisate. Due to open in June 2017, home for the lodge is an extinct volcanic cone \u2013 really \u2013 in the heart of 27 hectares of pristine Rwandan forest. Crucially the area is also a wildlife corridor, essential to the preservation of endangered mountain gorillas. Big ticks then for impressive conservation endeavours, but what about the lodge itself? Gold stars there too \u2013 each of the six domed forest villas will have a private deck, inside fireplace to warm chilly fingers and toes and remarkable views of Mikeno volcano to wake up to.<\/p>\n

King Lewanika Lodge, Liuwa Plains, Zambia<\/a><\/h2>\nYou have to be ballsy to build a lodge in one of the most remote parks in Africa, but the clever folks behind Norman Carr Safaris in the South Luangwa have taken up the challenge \u2013 with bells on. King Lewanika lodge will open in April 2017, timed perfectly to coincide with a new regular flight from Lusaka (the capital) to Kalabo (the Liuwa Plains airstrip). At the lodge, expect six sleek villas, never-ending views and dedicated photographic guides to take you on safari. Oh and did we mention it\u2019s the only permanent camp in the park?
