博茨瓦纳一处泛滥平原旁的豪华狩猎营地近日获得美国《悦旅》杂志评出的世界最佳酒店称号。
获得2013年最佳酒店奖的是博茨瓦纳的蒙博营与小蒙博营(Mombo Camp and Little Mombo Camp)。由《悦旅》杂志读者评选的“世界最佳奖”针对的是全球奢华住宿市场,今年已是第18届。
据蒙博营经营者介绍,这两个营地的卖点之一在于地理位置:它们位于莫雷米野生动物保护区(Moremi Game Reserve),在整个非洲来讲,也是观看大型野生动物的绝佳之地。
营地里有豪华四柱大床,可以洗澡。一顶顶住宿帐篷由架空的步道连接,客人们整日与犀牛、大象和猎兽为伍,看着它们在你脚下自由来去。
小蒙博营还建有一个树屋图书室,客人在驱车观看过野生动物之后,可以来这里喝杯鸡尾酒,放松一下。
其它设施包括茅草屋顶的起居室和餐厅,以及一个深水泳池。上下午都有的驱车观看动物活动,能见到狮子、猎豹、土狼、水牛、长颈鹿、斑马等野生动物。
在非洲大草原上过这样奢侈的生活,游客却不用必有任何愧疚感,因为蒙博营地全部使用太阳能供电。
蒙博营地还实施了犀牛保护项目,将黑、白两种犀牛重新引入该地区。
因为以上等原因,读者给这个豪华宿营地打了96.6分的高分(满分100)。

A luxury safari camping experience that overlooks the floodplains of Botswana has snagged the lofty title of world’s best hotel by readers of Travel + Leisure magazine.
Mombo Camp and Little Mombo Camp emerged the overall favorite in T + L’s 18th annual World’s Best Awards 2013, a ranking of luxury accommodations around the world as voted by readers of the US-based publication。
One of of Mombo’s best-selling assets: a location set within the Moremi Game Reserve which provides one of the best big game viewing vantage points in Africa, say camp operators。
Guests sleep in plush, four-poster beds, have access to showers, and can live among rhinos, elephants, and game animals which roam freely under their feet beneath raised walkways that connect the private tents to one another。
Little Mombo also features a ‘treehouse-luxe library’ that invites guests to relax with a post-game drive cocktail, editors say。
Other amenities include thatch-roofed living and dining areas as well as a plunge pool. Morning and afternoon game drives also offer frequent sightings of lions, leopards, hyenas, buffalo, giraffe and zebras。
In addition to offering luxury accommodations in the middle of the African plains, guests can sleep guilt-free as Mombo is powered completely by solar energy。
The camp also implemented a rhino conservation project which reintroduced black and white rhinos to the region。
For these and other reasons, readers gave the luxury camp site a top score of 96.6 out of 100.
Meanwhile, though properties listed represent nearly every corner of the world, luxury chains such as the Four Seasons, the Ritz-Carlton, Fairmont, the Mandarin Oriental and The Peninsula make repeat appearances throughout the ranking。
