SLEEPING IN THE WILDERNESS

SLEEPING within touching distance of wild African animals might not be everyone's idea of a relaxing break. But this amazing outdoor bedroom allows you to do just that, as you spend the night under the stars. The unusual outdoor resort, named Loisaba, is located in Laikipia County, Kenya, and lets guests enjoy a unique outdoor experience - open to all the elements. Home to two sets of outdoor locations, the aptly named ‘star beds’ are wooden huts raised twelve steps off the ground, and each include a bed, seating area, small wash room and wardrobe.
