Surviving in a luxury cabin in Africa can feel like a wild adventure... but don’t worry, we’re here to make it as easy pie (or at least easier than wrestling a lion). Here are a few tips to keep you smiling!
#Tip 1: Master the Art of Relaxation
Surviving in luxury isn't easy, but with a little practice, you can become a pro at lounging. Start by claiming the comfiest spot in the villa, preferably near the fireplace or in the wood-fired hot tub. Remember, relaxation is key to survival here.
#Tip2:​​ Navigate the Gourmet Kitchen
To endure the hardships of a fully equipped kitchen, channel your inner chef. Experiment with the gas stove or test your culinary skills with the microwave. If all else fails, order a Meal-in-a-box for a stress-free dining experience.​
#Tip 3: Outdoor Shower Etiquette
Conquer the great outdoors by embracing the outdoor shower. It's a thrilling experience, but remember to check for any wildlife spectators before you start your soapy serenade.
#Tip 4: Become a Fire Pit Boma Expert
Fire pits are essential for survival. Gather your wood and firelighters (supplied, of course), and practice your fire-building skills. This is where you'll swap tales of bravery and roast marshmallows, if you remember to order the Wine & S'mores box.
#Tip 5: Wildlife Observation Techniques
Sharpen your wildlife spotting skills from the safety of your villa. Whether you're peeking out from the hot tub or the lounge with a flat-screen TV, remember a pair of binoculars will ensure you can enjoy the buffalo and rhinos without breaking a sweat. See them up close by booking a Coffee or Breakfast Game Drive!
#Tip 6: Entertainment Strategy
JBL Bluetooth Speaker? Check. Arm yourself with a playlist or a series binge schedule to maintain your sanity in this wild, luxurious world.
#Tip 7: Canoeing and Fishing Ventures
For the adventurous, grab a fishing rod or an Indian canoe. Just remember, canoes are for floating, not sinking. Stick to shallow waters and keep your fishing tales as grand as the Outeniqua Mountains.
#Tip 8: Survive the Shopping Expedition
Navigate the treacherous 10 km journey to local shops or restaurants. It's a perilous trek, but the rewards are bountiful. Stock up on essentials or indulge in local cuisine as a treat.
#Tip 9: Social Media Survival
Document your survival story with regular updates. Hashtag your experiences, from "hot tub life" to "gourmet chef moments," ensuring your friends know exactly how you're roughing it.
#Tip 10: Savor the Sunset Strategy
Finally, end each day with the ultimate survival tactic: watching the sunset over the dam with a glass of bubbly wine. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.
