Slumming it: the resort that offers a shanty town experience

The words "slum" and "tourism" may not be ones that you expect to see together, but one resort in South Africa is now offering visitors the genuine experience of living in abject poverty - but without having to actually be poor.

The Emoya Luxury Hoyel and Spa's Shanty Town offers the experience of "staying in a Shanty within the safe environment of a private game reserve", reports Gizmodo.

"This is the only Shanty Town in the world equipped with under-floor heating and wireless internet access!" says the resort.

All the fun of terrible living conditions without death, disease of dangerous crime? What's not to like?
