heated plunge pools
hi the only way i can convince my wife to go on safari again is if we stay at one of the lodges with the private plunge pools, i know it can get hot in the day even in the winter, but being that it is quite cold at night, i was wondering if any of those private plunge pools are heated. i am thinking of going in late aug.

The best thing to do it to contact the particular camp you are interested in. They can advise whether their plunge pools are or aren't heated.
But why go to the southern hemisphere in the winter, if the pool is a major consideration? Try October or November*, which is late spring, going into summer in Southern Africa which will be plenty hot and humid that even a cold pool will be a relief.
*though November tends to have thunderstorms in the afternoons - brief, but they do happen occasionally.

I will be staying in the honeymoon suite at Kaingo (www.kaingo.com). I am paying a total of $160 pppns and it features a heated jacuzzi. This has got to be the best value around for anyone desiring their own heated plunge pool or jacuzzi.
Six more days until I leave for Zambia!

OK - it seems that I was ill informed about the Singita Plunge Pools. I have just double checked and heard that the ' heating ' elements are going to be fitted from July onwards.
Safarinut - I've also double checked about Leopard Hills plunge pools. The convertion was completed in about November and December 2003. The plunge pools are heated to about 30 Degrees - which means that its not as if you are sitting in a hot tub - but it makes it more comfortable !
