Because staying in a luxury tented mobile camp keeps you close to the action, nights are filled with the sounds of animals nearby which often leads to interesting conversations the next morning regarding ‘did you hear that noise last night?’. But don’t worry – these camps are safe! Camps are designed to blend into the landscape and humans are not natural prey to the predators. You are always escorted after dark by trained camp staff and since camps are located within the reserve, there is not free access to the sites by others in the region.
These camps are located within the nature reserves and are relocated throughout the season to follow the migration, maximizing your chance to be close to the action. This is not camping in the traditional sense! Yes, you are sleeping under canvas and the rooms are not air conditioned, but all other basic luxuries exist. Tents are roomy and on elevated platforms – there are comfortable beds and beautiful linens, other furniture such as desks and trunks, a separate bathroom with running water, flushing toilets, warm showers and variable degrees of electricity (often run off a generator which is available at certain hours). It tends to cool down after sunset so nights are comfortable most of the time, precluding the need for air conditioning.
