A common misconception is that a camping safari means getting stuck in and helping with the setting up camp well, nothing could be further from the truth. Professional safari staff take care of all the camp chores and wonderful safari chefs are capable of producing miracles from a bed of coals.
You can expect large tents with beds, bedside tables, LED lights, en-suite toilet and shower, covered verandah area with relaxing chairs and washbasins.
That’s why we call it a mobile tented safari and NOT a camping safari.
Your tents is spacious 4 x 3m Sahara style with a high roof and with a 2 x 3m en-suite bathroom at the rear and a 2 x 3m covered area in front. Your tent is fitted with solid base camp bed made up with mattresses, sheets, duvets and pillows. The en-suite has a long drop toilet and a bucket shower at the rear of the tent. Showers can be ordered as hot, cold or warm and the water is heated in a bucket on the fire. Both hand towels and bath towels are supplied for the guests’ convenience but please note that guests should bring their own personal items and toiletries. Each tent has an oil/paraffin lamp on the veranda and in the bathroom and within the tent itself, a LED rechargeable camp light is supplied along with a side table in the sleeping area and in the bathroom. Although each tent has lighting and there are lamps strategically around the camp for navigation, an essential tool for your safari is a headlamp which lets you read a book at night in your tent or catch up with your safari journal as you listen to the sounds of the wild outside! Take our advice – Spending a little bit of money will save you a lot of frustration. If you are travelling as a couple then pack one per person.
