They're a far cry from the rudimentary tree houses we played in as children, in which imagination played a major role.
A trio of strikingly beautiful tree houses on the Lion Sands Game Reserve, in the heart of South Africa's safari land, offer brave guests the chance to sleep under the stars, with wild animals lurking below.
Once dropped off guests are given insect repellent, torches and a two-way radio and left to their own devices while lions, hyenas hunt prey down below.
The Chalkley treehouse was built sixty years ago, originally as a photographer's platform. Since then it has been kitted out with a double bed, basin, hot water bottles and dressing gowns.
Life on the nearby Sabie River comes alive at sunrise and dawn and you might spot a herd of elephants less than 200 feet away across the plain.
Situated opposite the Sabie River, guests in the Tinyeleti tree house will enjoy the soothing sound of gently rushing water while spying the wildlife out for a sunset drink.
The 645sqft Kingston is the largest of the three and features a shower, and guests are offered champagne dinners and sunset massages.
Tinyeleti: When night falls over the Sabie River, guests can expect to see wildlife stopping by for an early evening drink

All mod cons: The Kingston hut, the largest of
the three, features its own shower and after a hard day of game viewing,
guests can have a well-earned massage
Wilderness: The Chalkley treehouse exposes guests to the elements, and was originally built as a photographers' platform
Luxury at sundown: The Kingston hut, pictured at dusk, when the local wildlife comes to life
In the thick of it: Guests are given insect repellent, torches and a two-way radio and then left to their own devices
Kingston by day: The isolated setting is perfect
for honeymooning couples wanting to find seclusion within beautiful
surroundings
River side: Visitors to the Tinyeleti tree house will enjoy the sound of the gently rushing waters of the Sabie River
Sweet dreams: The heavenly setting of the
Kingston tree house would appeal to wildlife lovers and luxury fans with
an adventurous side
