What's this trip about?

    Luxury-tented camps are permanent offering services that are top class. They are nestled in the middle of real African Woods and bushes, where wildlife and birds roam in their natural habitat. Each luxury canvas tent has a permanent roof and floor, attached ensuite bathroom, including a flush toilet, sink, and hot showers. Cries of animals in a star-studded African night is one of the experiences that will give you sweet memories of Africa, long after you have left. The environment excites a true spirit of adventure and freedom from all cares and worries of this life.
