Staying in Tented Camps while on safari in Africa

Discover the magic of Africa’s wild places through our hand-picked safari camps—intimate retreats created for travellers seeking authenticity, adventure and a deeper connection to nature. Unlike lodges or large, permanent properties, safari camps offer a closer, more immersive experience of the bush, blending comfort with the raw beauty of the wilderness that surrounds them. These camps are thoughtfully designed to reflect their environment, whether set along a remote riverbed, overlooking golden plains or hidden beneath ancient acacia trees.


Staying in a safari camp brings you into the rhythm of the wild in a way that feels both exhilarating and effortlessly comfortable. Expect beautifully appointed canvas tents or open-air suites crafted with natural materials and subtle touches of local craftsmanship. Many camps offer sweeping views, cosy firepits and private verandas where you can watch wildlife wander by, listen to birds at dawn or simply soak in the quiet of the bush after a day of exploration.


What truly sets safari camps apart is their intimacy and heartfelt hospitality. With fewer tents and dedicated teams, the experience feels personal, warm and deeply connected to place. Expert guides share their knowledge of the landscape, wildlife and hidden corners of the region, helping you form a genuine bond with your surroundings.


Choosing a safari camp means embracing both adventure and authenticity. You won’t have to compromise between comfort and closeness to nature—you can explore Africa’s extraordinary wildlife, experience the thrill of the bush, and return each evening to a peaceful campfire haven that feels uniquely yours.
