FROM A LODGE/ 
CAMP DECK
Unfenced camps or lodges 
offer wildlife viewing from 
the comfort of a deck, pool, or 
dining area. 
FROM THE EDGE OF A 
WATERING HOLE
Waiting at a watering hole in 
front of a lodge or in a remote 
wilderness area is a sure-fire 
way to spot Africa’s wildlife. 
FROM A HIDE 
Purpose-built structures 
at ground level or partially 
submerged underwater, 
positioned near waterholes 
or salt licks, allow eye-level 
viewing of animals.
FROM A VIEWING 
PLATFORM
Raised viewing platforms 
offer a 360-degree view of 
the plains, while suspended 
canopy bridges and platforms 
allow a peek into life in the 
treetops. 
WATCH FROM A STATIONARY SPOT
