Nestled into the lee of a valley beside a small lake, this Central African Wilderness Safaris lodge is insanely picturesque. Its bungalows have an unfussy '70s aspect to them and are ideal for families, with small kitchen, cosy sitting room and stone fireplace. Rates include park entrance fees and wildlife-watching activities.
Keep your eyes peeled for leopards drinking at the lake come dawn (and ask to see their claw marks on one of the chalet walls!). Reception and the atmospheric restaurant are but a few yards away.
