It might be rare for luxury to mean wide-open spaces and not another soul around, but Kingston Treehouse defines it thus. Built on stilts amidst the indigenous forest, this gorgeous perch is a childhood dream made real – and really, really cool. This exceptional, quintessentially African form of pampering allows for total immersion in the pristine wilderness of the lowveld, in an area that straddles the edge of southern Kruger National Park. You have everything you need (facilities, running water, comfy bedding, a lounge and gourmet picnic) and nothing you don't. The treehouse is all about tranquility, and an openness to whatever wanders past.

Accessed from a wooden boardwalk straddling an enormous granite boulder and the treehouse platform, this magnificent perch feels totally immersed, while being only slightly shielded from the elements of the bush. Glass doors enclose the bed and posterior bathroom on all sides - a bit of protection without an iota of obstruction. In the bathroom, you'll find a shower and double basin, fluffy bathrobes and aromatic soaps. With plush bedding, feather pillows and a king-sized mattress, no luxury is spared but those that are superfluous.
