The space

The Safari Glamping Tent offers a classic Sodwana bush experience without the hassle of pitching your own gear. These tents provide a rugged yet comfortable alternative to traditional camping, featuring two single beds and a private wooden deck. It’s a dedicated space for those who want to stay close to nature and the dive-camp atmosphere while enjoying the elevation of a deck and the convenience of pre-set bedding. Like our Garden Rooms, these tents make use of the nearby communal shower and toilet blocks.
