Accommodation is in true camping style with Africa on Foot Wilderness Trails. After a day on foot, you’ll come back to a fully set-up campsite. Your accommodation is in a classic dome-style safari tent, pitched on the ground, and equipped with comfortable swags/mattresses and suitable bed linen. You can easily zip in and out of these two-sleeper tents and enjoy the sounds of the wild around you.
The campsites are entirely mobile, leaving no trace behind. Each day, when the location is changed, the ground team will break down the tents and pitch the camp in the day’s new location. After an adrenaline-fueled day in the bush, walkers will find tents, bush bathrooms, and bucket showers ready and waiting.
There is also a ‘mess tent’, which is a canvas construction to house the kitchen, food prep, and washing up facilities. This is where the private chef will work to prepare those fire-cooked meals you will enjoy under the stars in the evening. A dining table is set every evening, and in the mornings to offer up coffee and rusks before departure.
The camp is an intimate setup, designed for the group to socialise around the fire in the evenings, and enjoy the natural ambience of the bush.

Each of the four dome tents can sleep two people comfortably on individual mattresses, made up with bed linen, duvets, and pillows.
These foam mattresses roll up easily into canvas covers and can be transported and reassembled at the next campsite. Camping doesn’t come more comfortable than this!
Each tent has an attached bathroom, which consists of a bucket shower and chemical toilet. A specially designed canvas panel is erected adjacent to the dome tent, creating an enclosed, yet open-air, bathroom facility. Water for the bucket showers is heated on the fire and filled for each shower.
The canvas exterior of the tent is lined with fly screen mesh, which allows the canvas flaps to be opened while keeping the insects out.
Comforts, such as bug spray and mosquito repellant, hand soap, and toilet paper are provided.
