Expect a touch of luxury amidst the untamed beauty of the wild. The camp boasts a full staff including skilled chefs, attentive waiters, diligent tent keepers, and experienced drivers. Meals are crafted to the highest standards, accommodating your dietary preferences and ensuring culinary satisfaction.
Most importantly, embarking on a tented safari promises exceptional mobility amidst these wild expanses. As the camp relocates, you awaken to a delightful breakfast while witnessing the camp’s seamless disassembly. Following a leisurely game drive with a picnic lunch, you arrive at the new site to find the camp magically reassembled, your shower steaming hot, a crackling campfire, and supper in preparation.
Tented safaris also entail selecting camp locations based on seasonal game movements and local conditions. Each camp accommodates a maximum of twelve guests, ensuring an intimate and personalized safari experience. Accommodations feature spacious walk-in tents equipped with linen and all essential amenities for a comfortable bush stay. Each tent boasts a traditional bucket shower and long-drop toilet for your convenience.
