You can swim up close with elephants at a five-star lodge in South Africa

At the Mhondoro Safari Lodge & Villa in South Africa, the outdoor pools are near a busy watering hole where wildlife often gather. The pools are filled with saline as opposed to chlorine, since elephants come to drink out of them almost every day. The five-star lodge is on the Welgevonden Game Reserve in Limpopo, three hours outside Johannesburg.
