African Tented Safaris
Africa Under Canvas
On a tented safari, you can expect to enjoy an authentic sensory experience, fully immersing you in the captivating sounds of nature.
Our authentic under-canvas African tented safari offers a wonderfully immersive experience. Spacious tents overlook the vast savannahs, providing comfort and protection from the elements. Savour the close proximity to nature and the soundtrack it delivers, be it the grunting of wildebeest, the roaring of lion, or the dawn chorus of bird song. You will be enveloped and engulfed by wildlife in a way that cannot be replicated in other accommodations.
After a delicious lunch, retire to your stylish canvas retreat and relax on a day bed or in the shade of your veranda, watching the animals graze on the plains. The stunning bird life and their enchanting signature sounds can be heard throughout your tented habitat.
Our African tented safari accommodations provide all the creature comforts, making them cosy and idyllic, enveloping you with the essence of Africa’s textures and colours.
After fire-side drinks and a delicious dinner, there’s nothing quite like drifting off to sleep to the gentle accompaniment of a lion roaring in the distance or the low rumble of a passing elephant. Gently waking up to the sounds of the African bush is just as memorable. If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable safari experience, then an Asilia African tented safari should be your choice.
