For only $668 (€513) you could spend an incredible night in one of the jaw-dropping suites from the Makanyane Safari Lodge, located in South Africa's Madikwe Game Reserve.

Apart from the delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, all included in this price, the hotel owners have thought about another feature aiming to make Makanyane Safari Lodge more attractive for tourists and nature fans worldwide, Gizmodo informs.

The resort occupying almost 1,800 hectares of land benefits from the presence of elephants, strategically placed in gardens. Therefore, tourists can enjoy their morning coffee while contemplating the beauty of the large creatures passing by their rooms.

Moreover, hunting sessions are available for the clients who share this passion. For the rest, the luxurious hotel has made it easier to enjoy biodiversity from the comfort of their own five star suites.

Even though this initiative may not have a significant conservation value, or a beneficial effect for the elephant population, it definitely counts as a smart business strategy.
