Top five loos with views

Five of the world’s most scenic cisterns and panoramic privies – from Zambia to the Antarctic

Loo lover Luke Barclay’s latest tomeGood Loo Hunting takes you to the most picturesque – and bizarre – loos on the planet.

Here are five loos worth mentioning we plucked from the book…

1. Banks of the Zambezi

Old Mondoro bush Camp
Lower Zambezi National Park, Zambia

With a clear sight of the Zambezi while seated or from the sinks, today this loo is a great place for toilet-based game spotting – elephant, hippo and crocs are all said to have been seen from it.

However, had the loo existed in the nineteenth century, users might have also seen Dr Livingstone as he travelled down the river on his way to discovering Victoria Falls.

In fact, given that there’s also a loo on Livingstone Island with a view of the falls, one could technically journey on the great man’s footsteps, stopping at loos along the way.
