Be a part of the luxury gypsy tribe | Why tented accommodation ?


Enjoy the nature inside a concrete based luxury suite cannot be defined as luxury travel in modern era. Since tourism dedicated to travel in style for a purpose travellers tend to make lesser transactions with locals unless its community based travel package.

Travellers seeking for adventure look forward to admire every moment leaving aside conventional fixed structured accommodation like hotel rooms, lodges, apartments and holiday bungalows. Proper rooms built with bricks and resistant materials remain for years. They have formal dining halls, lounges and even swimming pools serving several dozen guests. Tented safari considered a way of avoiding large gathering especially post covid-19. 

Bit of history

Tented safaris were initiated in Kenya around the 1920s but the concept has now spread to cover most of Africa's wildlife areas. Camp is usually established for two to four days in each ecosystem and guests stay in upmarket lodges while it is relocated.

There is probably no other subject relating to African travel that is as misunderstood as that of 'the tented camp'. A huge range of products are hidden behind that one label.

We endeavour to help you make some sense of it.

Luxury tented lodges - way of rejuvenation

Luxury tented camp is not usually a fixed structure but rather made of resilient canvas. They tend to be located in great viewing locations because of their semi-permanent and much smaller nature. Luxury tented camps can sometimes have less than 10 rooms. Swimming pools and selected recreational facilities also available sometimes with the beds and furniture are of a more permanent nature.
