I will have a house like this when I retire. Enough motivation today! Let's rock!

I packed my shit last year and went over to East Africa for a month with backpack and 1000 euros. The experience didn't resemble these photos not even a single bit.
One place I stayed had 20 local men all snoring their lungs out in the same room, I couldn't get asleep and listened to music all night to not hear the snoring as much. In other place I was scared to fall asleep because I was alone in a remote village in an extremely shabby room. Babies there have never even seen white person before and some would start crying upon seeing you while kids would keep asking for money. In a hiking trip I had no sleeping gear and didn't realize it can get so cold at night, I was freezing in Africa! I wish it was a joke. Last day of the trip I had literally 0 money and being already exhausted had to walk the whole day, 15km with large backpack to the airport.
By the end of the month I was dreaming about my life back at Europe and got extremely pumped so that next time there is going to resemble more of what Biophase posted!
Even though my trip was an antonym to glamour, I was still WAY WAY more well-off than most locals. That forces you to realize how privileged you are by winning at the lottery of where you are born, and that it's your responsibility to do something good with that privilege. Now the feeling has faded away but at the thought and intention is still there.
@biophase, absolutely amazing! I've been on the continent twice, it's magical. Most recent trip was 2011, to Ghana, West Africa, to set up a gold import operation. Lets just say that things did not go exactly as planned, but a great trip. I'll write a book about it one day. Lol
I gotta stay at that lodge on my next trip!
Thanks for the motivation!!
Just got back from an African safari. This was a partial business trip and one of its main purposes was to tour the many lodges to see what is available for high income clients.
So I thought I'd post some motivation for you all here. What you are looking at below are the suites at the Four Seasons Serengeti. These suites are just ridiculous in size and location. The suites each have their private pool. Not sure of there square footage but, I'm guess at least 1300 sf. 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, private fitness center, private kitchen (but the staff cooks food for you).
Price for this suite is $11,000 per night. They said that most people stay 6-7 nights. How fastlane do you need to be to stay in this suite?
The crazy thing is that after being there a week and seeing these lodges, the $1,000/night room sounds like a great deal!

So Bio, I'm guessing you stayed there for $11,000 a night?
