Four Seasons Serengeti, Tanzania, Africa

As pools with a view go, it's tough to beat the Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, where families of elephants are your frequent companions below. The watering hole that it overlooks features other visitors such as zebras and the occasional lion, but thankfully you're kept at a safe distance.


The pool is open from sunrise to sunset, but even thereafter you can keep an eye on the action through a dedicated TV channel with an infrared camera. Rates at Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti start from $1,315 per night, inclusive of all meals.
