Divava Okavango Resort and Spa is perched on the edge of the Okavango River, just a mile downstream from Popa Falls in Namibia's Caprivi Strip. A relatively large, mid-range lodge, it offers comfortable accommodation, superb food and good access to the region's wildlife. The river takes centre stage, but there are also two nearby national parks that complete the experience. The lodge atmosphere straddles that of a hotel and a bush lodge, leaning slightly more toward the commercial than the camp feel. The result is probably fitting considering its location: a blend of wilderness with surrounding communities and infrastructure nearby.

Set in Thornybush Private Game Reserve on the western edge of the Kruger Park, family-run Tangala Safari Camp's rustic charms have been augmented by the addition of a solar farm, which powers the lodge. It's an intimate camp that focuses on solid game viewing (great Big Five sightings!) and good hosting. And, despite the fact that Tangala is one of 12 lodges on this mid-sized (14,000-hectare) reserve, the landscape feels satisfyingly uncrowded and authentically wild. Just a five-hour drive from Johannesburg, Tangala is an easy weekend getaway for locals, or a good option for international travellers looking for a well-rounded safari experience.

RockFig Safari Lodge is the product of a long romance, conceived over two decades. It is the expression of family's love affair with South Africa's Lowveld region, specifically the 530-square-kilometre Timbavati Private Nature Reserve on Kruger Park's western edge. The absence of fences separating this reserve from the national park means that wildlife roams freely between them, and that guests reap the rich rewards. You'll see all the Big Five here, including Timbavati's famed white lions. Round it all off with exceptional guides and superb staff to care for you in camp, and you have a thoroughly good safari.

Built around a 200-year-old Jackalberry tree, right on the banks of the Sabie River, Lion Sands Tinga Lodge is tucked away in the Lion Sands Game Reserve in the infamous Greater Kruger National Park - an area known for its breathtaking bushveld flora and fauna. Falling inside the bounds of the Greater Kruger National Park, the reserve is one of the oldest private reserves in South Africa, and a pristine natural environment known for its spectacular wildlife sightings. Slow down and unwind in a romantic bubble of bush and natural beauty; a perfect escape.

The view from Palazzo Manfredi is one of those that will stop you in your tracks. After all, you are literally gazing across the Colosseum from your (enormous) bed. If you hadn't guessed, this intimate five-star palazzo is directly opposite Rome's most iconic monument, on the very foundations of the Ludus Magnus, the ancient training ground where gladiators honed their craft before stepping into the arena. Bought in 2002 by Count Goffredo Manfredi, the 17th-century residence is now a refined boutique hideaway with bold interiors, a Michelin-starred rooftop restaurant and one of the city's most fabulous cocktail bars. It's small, it's personal and the location is, quite frankly, perfect.
