Bellevue Forest Reserve’s new luxury family safari tents redefine comfort in the wild, offering families a truly memorable safari experience surrounded by the natural beauty of the forest.

Set deep within the lush forest, the tents provide an authentic sense of seclusion and privacy, allowing guests to unwind to the soothing sounds of nature. Despite their peaceful setting, the tents remain within easy walking distance of the main lodge, ensuring convenience without compromising on exclusivity. Each unit is equipped with all modern amenities, including a fully stocked mini-bar, in-room drinks and snacks, complimentary Wi-Fi, and an en-suite bathroom complete with a shower and toilet. Thoughtfully designed interiors blend natural textures with elegant finishes, creating a serene retreat where comfort meets adventure. Perfect for families seeking both relaxation and exploration, Bellevue’s luxury tents promise an unforgettable stay — a harmonious balance between wilderness living and refined hospitality, where every detail celebrates the beauty and spirit of the Eastern Cape’s pristine forest.

Our Classic Safari Tents are a favorite among guests seeking an affordable 'glamping' experience in the heart of the African Bushveld. Tucked into a pocket of spekboom thickets and soft Eastern Cape light, the Safari Tents at Bellevue feel like something time forgot — in the best way. No frills, no fanfare. Just the bush, and you, and whatever the day brings. The tents are raised just off the forest floor, with wooden decks that catch the morning sun and hold onto it long after the trees have cooled. You wake up slow here. The light filters in early, filtered through canvas and birdsong. It’s warm, it’s quiet. You unzip the flap and step out — maybe with a coffee, maybe just to breathe. Inside is simple, thoughtful comfort. A proper bed, crisp linen, warm wood underfoot. The kind of shower you won’t forget — half open, part rustic, all refreshing. Everything smells like fresh air and veld. You’ll catch yourself staring out of windows, not for anything in particular ... Evenings settle in easy. Lanterns flicker. The bush gets louder in that soft, familiar way — insects, owls, a distant something that might be a jackal. No distractions. Just night. Just stillness.
