Ever wanted to stay in a treehouse? Well this just about tops the list as one of the most epic places to go. The Lion Sands Game Reserve in South Africa is not only home to a wide array of wildlife but also a community of luxury safari lodges and tree houses. Here's a bit more about our favourite one, the Chalkey tree house from it's creators..

 

"Guy Aubrey Chalkley once set up camp in a majestic centuries-old Leadwood Tree to escape the predators roaming the plains below. We decided that this would be the ideal place to build the ultimate bush bedroom, and so came to be The Chalkley Treehouse.

 

A secure and lavish platform under the stars, the treehouse has all the 5-star comforts, but affords an experience as wild as the animals that roam beneath it. Guests are taken to the treehouse at sunset, where drinks and a scrumptious picnic dinner await. Dusk can be enjoyed relaxing and absorbing the vastness of the bush as it transforms from day to night, before turning in for slumber beneath the incredible night sky"
