6. Zambezi Sun in Zambia.
5. The Royal Livingstone also in Zambia.

The Top 3 starts off with Singita Ebony which though a high end option is well worth the premium on admission with its wonderful attention to detail & service excellence. The runner up spot goes to the epic Governors Camp in Kenya’s Masai Mara which is a once in a lifetime safari travelers paradise.
