How Our Camps Are Classified
Premier Camps
A portfolio of elegant camps found in the best possible areas in Africa and characterised by unashamed (but appropriate and sustainable) luxury. These camps also have an explicit purpose or 'reason for being' and are crafted to be to be relevant to and in harmony with its location. The camps range in size from 3 to 11 individually stylised rooms.
Classic Camps
These camps are designed in traditional safari style and are mostly stylish canvas constructions, often raised off the ground on wooden decks. Located in exceptional wildlife and wilderness areas, all offer superb facilities and accommodation. The camps range in size from 3 to 12 tents.
Adventure Camps
Adventures camps are comprised mainly of thatch and canvas, with generally smaller, more rustic rooms than those of the Premier or Classic camps. Accommodation is extremely comfortable nonetheless, with the larger camps lending themselves to a convivial atmosphere. Camps range in size from 4 to 23 rooms.
