ALL THE FUN. NONE OF THE SETUP.

and Camp.

BEFORE YOU COME
A Few Things to Know.
Bring Your Bedding
Mattresses and pillows are provided. Bring sheets or sleeping bags and pillowcases.
Pack for Camping
These are real canvas camping tents—not climate-controlled cabins. Come prepared for the weather, insects and changing mountain temperatures.
Generator Power Is Limited
Some safari tents include a single-charge generator. It can power the Keurig, charge phones and run a fan, but it is not intended for high-wattage appliances such as heaters. Generator power is limited to one charge per stay.
Coming With a Group?
Some safari tents work especially well together for families and groups traveling together. Reach out to the camp host and we’ll help you choose sites that fit your group and are in proximity to one another.
