The glacial temperatures tempt one to escape to an exotic destination that offers sunny skies and cool waters but not everyone wants to deal with the schlep of sorting out flights, accommodation and transport. As such, a Sho’t Left escape offering a cosy fireplace,
fresh air and wildlife isn’t a bad compromise. After all, it’s still in keeping with the lap of luxury but on home soil. Of course, choices can be overwhelming and, as such, we’ve picked out five spots that will warm the cockles of your heart in every way.

KWAZULU-NATAL Nambiti Hills Private Game Experience In season two of “The Real Housewives of Durban”, Londie London planned a girl’s trip to this opulent wilderness paradise. Cattiness aside, the reality TV stars eventually calmed down as the tranquil haven whet their appetite for the outdoors while satisfying their palate as well. Nambiti Hills Private Game Lodge is situated in the Nambiti Big 5 Game Reserve. It offers luxury suites with panoramic views of the natural surroundings. Of course, it has a swimming pool, spa facilities, game drives and walking safaris. Just to sweeten the appeal, the elegant suites are spacious and have an outdoor seating area that
allows you to soak up the fresh air while basking in the sounds of nature. It also has a lounge area, a large stone bath and Wi-Fi if the prospect of a tech detox doesn’t quite appeal. And the recent reviews on Tripadvisor speak volumes for the 5-star escape. leighbosch wrote: “Unbeatable bush experience. We spent two nights at Nambiti Hills and did not want to leave. The experience is 5 star, and the staff incredible, but equally manage to maintain a downto-earth and welcoming atmosphere. We’d love to return for another spoil.” The personal touches and service delivery indulges every sense here and it explains why visitors don’t want to leave.
