Tented Safari camps

Sleeping under the stars is one of the most magical experiences you can have while on a safari in Africa. Tented safari camps offer a truly unique and memorable way to fully immerse yourself in the bushveld landscape. Made up of temporarily erected tents held up by sturdy wooden poles, these camps provide all the amenities you need while staying close to nature.

The tents are spacious and elegantly furnished with comfortable beds, side tables, and chairs. Most have en-suite bathrooms with flush toilets and hot showers. Large canopy nets cover the beds to protect you from mosquitoes and other insects as you sleep. Lanterns and flashlights are provided in case you need to walk to the bathrooms at night.

Dining tents are where you will enjoy sumptuous meals prepared by expert chefs using fresh, local ingredients. The fare usually consists of game meat like impala or kudu, fresh fish, vegetables, fruits and tasty desserts. You dine under the stars with other guests, getting to know your fellow travelers as wildlife may pass by in the distance.

Activities during the day include game drives in open safari vehicles to spot the Big Five and other animals on their territories. Knowledgeable guides will share their insights to enhance your appreciation of the African bush. You may also go on guided walks if your camp is in a walking area. Evenings are perfect for stargazing from your tent or relaxation by the campfire.

Tented camps promote a low-impact style of traveling that avoids disturbing wildlife. Blending beautifully into the bush, they offer unparalleled opportunity to feel utterly at one with nature. For many, a night under the African sky in a tented camp is truly the highlight of their safari experience. The sights, sounds and sense of adventure will remain engraved in your memory for years to come.
