What It Looks Like
Extraordinary African Safaris
Sleep under canvas without giving up an inch of comfort — four-poster beds, en-suite bathrooms, and the sounds of the wild just beyond the zip.
A luxury tented camp is the most romantic way to sleep on safari: spacious canvas suites with proper beds, en-suite bathrooms, hot bucket or plumbed showers, and a private veranda looking over the plains. Yet only a layer of canvas separates you from the night — and the lions, hippos, and dawn chorus that come with it.
These camps capture the spirit of the old explorers’ expeditions with all the modern comfort added. Many move seasonally to follow the migration, putting you in the heart of the action, and most include drinks, laundry, and guided activities. It’s the experience that makes guests fall in love with safari.
Greeted with a drink and shown to your private tented suite.
Game drives, walks, or night drives depending on the camp's area.
Sundowners by the fire, then dinner under the stars.
Drift off to the sounds of the bush, an escort to your tent after dark.
"Tented" puts some people off, but luxury tented camps are more comfortable — and far more atmospheric — than many lodges. The canvas is the point: you're genuinely in the wild. The only real trade-offs are cooler nights and walking to dinner with an escort. For most guests it's the highlight of the trip.
These are the destinations we most often pair with Luxury Tented Camp Safari, based on route flow, season, and how the wider itinerary fits together.
Endless plains, two million migrating wildebeest, and Africa's highest concentration of big cats — the park every safari dream is measured against.
