Imagine surrounding yourself with the captivating energy, delicate sounds, and unspeakable beauty of Africa’s untouched wildernesses in the comfort and privacy of your very own luxurious canvas tent. As you relax by your private plunge pool, you’ll begin to feel a subtle transformation take place within your body and mind—the pure feeling of relaxation and serenity. A sensation that is nearly impossible to come by in busy, everyday life.
Tented camps are perfect for . . .
- Nature lovers: When you stay in a canvas tent you are literally immersed into your natural surroundings. The designs of these spacious tents often incorporate elements of the outdoors into the décor and enable fresh air to flow in and out via sliding doors and / or open-faced walls. And whenever you step outside, you are welcomed by a panoramic view of an enchanting landscape filled with remarkable wildlife and charismatic beauty. Not to mention, many tented camps are situated near a watering hole where guests can view game coming in for an afternoon drink.
- Honeymooners and romantics: There’s no roughing it in a luxury tented camp, so you’ll never feel dirty or rugged. The ambiance of a luxury camp emits a feeling of romance and bliss that is perfect for honeymooners and romantics, alike. With a lush queen bed fit for royalty, lavish amenities, indoor and outdoor showers with hot and cold water, spacious en-suite facilities, a private game viewing deck, and an all-encompassing natural landscape (**amenities differ depending on the tented camp), you’ll feel right at home in sheer comfort.
- Explorers at heart: Adventure lies right outside your door and every morning yields a fresh new slate for discovery and excitement. Every morning you’ll have the opportunity to embark on an adventurous game drive, walking safari, or other type of excursion and witness big game, vibrant birds, bizarre reptiles and insects, and smaller mammals at an exhilarating, close range.
Tented Camp Myths: You don’t have to be rugged or adventurous to stay in a luxury tented camp because they are extremely high end and feature lavish amenities and en-suite bathroom facilities. Mobile tented camps, on the other hand, are built more for adventurists and can sometimes lack some of the luxury amenities you’ll find in a non-mobile luxury tented camp. The major difference between mobile and non-mobile camps is that non-mobile camps are built primarily with efficiency in mind, so that they can be moved quickly and easily and so that they can follow the migration for example. Non-mobile luxury camps, on the other hand, are built primarily for luxury and making sure that you have the most perfect vacation.
