| Mchenja, Zambia |
People often tell us when they are enquiring about going on safari that they only want the very best, that they don’t want to camp, and that holidaying under canvas is something that they left behind as teenagers. The thing is that some of the very best safari lodges in Africa and elsewhere in the world are now tented.
Of course there is no longer a need to get down on your hands and knees to scramble into the tent, you are unlikely to have to crawl in to a sleeping bag in order to sleep and you certainly won’t be cooking your own food over a wobbly gas stove!

| Eco-Camp, Chile |
Take Mchenja for example, in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley. This beautiful tented camp can sleep up
to ten people, each of them in stunning luxury. Each room has an outdoor shower and a free-standing indoor bath and the camp itself has a spacious lounge and dining area and cool plunge pool overlooking the Luangwa River for added relaxing pleasure.
Holiday on the Indian subcontinent and take a visit to Pench National Park to see tigers, and you might like to look at Pench Jungle Camp. With 12 spacious safari tents set in eight hectares of beautiful mature forest, Pench offers elegant luxury in the heart of the jungle.

| Governor's Camp, Kenya |
In Chile we highly recommend the Eco Camp in the rugged and breathtakingly beautiful Torres del Paine. These beautiful and unusual giant dome tents (28 square metres each!) have been specially designed to withstand the climatic extremes of their environment... and of course to
look good and feel comfortable too.
