Scenic views, open-air showers, and the sound of animal nightlife as you drift off. In our open-plan Superior Tented Suites, you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the untamed savanna. Balancing rustic charm with opulence, here’s what you can expect from your luxury tented accommodation. 

Adjacent to the entrance of the Meru-style tent is a spacious verandah designated for your exclusive use. Situated on a raised foundation, you can indulge in picturesque vistas from the convenience of your personal outdoor seating space. Enjoy quieter moments of tranquillity, take time to journal about your adventures, or simply sit back and embrace the here and now under the African sun. 

Inside, a welcoming lounge area is adorned with comfortable furnishings. A sleeper couch, two chairs, and a coffee table are arranged atop a kilim rug, adding to the safari-esque ambience. Additionally, a convenient coffee station is at your disposal, complete with a kettle and an assortment of beverage options.

Adorned with a mosquito net and premium quality linens, the king-sized bed (convertible into two single beds) is the irresistible focal point of the tent. The sleeper couch can also be converted into a proper double bed. 

We also know that a tidy space is conducive to your relaxation. Therefore, we thoughtfully equip our Superior Tented Suites with storage solutions to keep your possessions organised and at hand. This includes a standing wardrobe, drawers, two luggage stands, and a small safe.

While embracing the charm of the outdoors, our Superior Tented Suites offer modern conveniences. Your private en-suite bathroom features amenities such as a flush toilet, bathtub, couple’s basin, and an outdoor shower with warm, running water, allowing you to enjoy comfort without compromising on authenticity.

A final note: The absence of televisions in our tents is a deliberate choice. Once you experience the cinematic surroundings or drift off to the sounds of the bush, you will understand.
