The best way to experience the magic that is Africa is by sleeping under an amazing African starry sky in one of its panoramic bubble lodges, hotels and resorts.
Please hold my glass hotel rooms.
And camping tents.
Welcome bubble hotels.
The only thing more spectacular than these paradise resorts is their unobstructed views of the star-lit African sky in the night and the breathtaking vistas at day break (because let’s face it: who needs a roof and a wall when you don’t have to).
From Mauritius to Kenya EvaMtalii has handpicked Africa’s best bubble hotels and lodges where you can have a memorable stay to celebrate a honeymoon or just relax from the hustle and bustle of city life:
