Camping is an outdoor recreational activity involving the spending of
one or more nights in a tent, primitive structure with the purpose of
getting away from civilization and enjoying nature. In Africa tented accommodation
has evolved beyond the primitive. The under canvass experience has become
synonymous with an authentic safari camp.
Camping is often associated with a sense of nostalgia or of romanticism
for 'the times of our fathers'. It simultaneously evokes images of 'oneness
with nature' and 'man against nature' - independence and self-sufficiency.
Camping may be referred to colloquially as roughing it. Here in Africa
we have pioneered tented comfort in the context of a wilderness experience
with world class services and luxury.
National parks and other publicly owned natural areas of interest are
popular venues for camping. Camps are usually semi permanent, which means
that they can be removed from a site to allow it to naturalise again.
This form of accommodation has the least impact on the environment and
really affords visitors a personal encounter in a natural environment.
Private Tented Camps offer guest privacy and total flexibility. Most camps
are designed for only a small private party or a limited number of occupants.
Setting up tented camps usually employs a large amount of effort and
automobiles to transport equipment. Sometimes pack animals, boats or bush
planes may be used. Luxury tented camps are as equipped as any standard
bush lodge. There are mess tents, en suite showers and toilets, full kitchen
and bar areas. There are no limits to the amount of comfort that is available.
The only constraints are your budget.
