Private luxury tented camping on safari is the ultimate in wildlife immersion. When you're out on a safari drive you have the jeep between you and the animals. In mobile private tented camping the only thing separating you from the hippos or wildebeest outside your tent is the canvas wall.  Mobile camping offers a rush that is not found in tented lodges or hotels because it puts you smack in the middle of the action. Camping allows us to follow the animal migration and to select sites in close proximity to the wildlife - which also means the sites are far away from other humans! Camping also allows us to take longer game drives and concentrate on following the animals and not worry about making it all the way back to the lodge, etc. at nightfall.

Light mobile camping – what does it mean exactly? As the name suggests, this option is the most versatile and most rugged option. It is also the most cost-effective lodging option as many of the ‘frills’ are omitted. Are you interested in really getting away from it all and fully immersing yourself in the African wilderness? Does the thought of sleeping in a tent near wildebeest or hippos, with only a canvas wall between you and nature, excite you? If you answered ‘yes’ to the questions above then light mobile camping may well be for you.
The beauty of light mobile camping is it allows you to stay in quiet, isolated areas that most tourists would not get to visit.

Luxury tented lodges offer the intimate, private environment of a camping safari with all of the modern conveniences of a lodge. The landscaping in luxury tented lodges is always spectacular, with each tent situated in such a way to provide a secluded, private viewing area for guests. Unlike the tents in private camping, these tents are not mobile. They have been constructed on raised wooden platforms and have been equipped with plumbing which allows for steaming hot showers and indoor toilets.  However, these are still tents with canvas walls and mesh windows which let in the sounds of the wilderness – perfect for falling asleep to the sound of hyenas cries and awaking to the roar of lions.

Safari lodges provide some of the most reliable accommodation for weary travellers seeking relaxation after a long day of hiking, mountain biking or game driving. While some are not as opulent or extravagant as their luxury safari lodge cousins, safari lodge rooms are clean, comfortable and offer all the modern conveniences one would expect in a hotel or lodge including: en suite bathrooms, hot showers, comfortable beds and solid, non canvas walls!
