Our Exploration Camps are designed to offer a true “back to nature” experience, with the emphasis being on that experiential aspect of great safaris. We have recognised a strong desire in many travellers to go back to the original safari concept which allowed guests to touch, feel, smell and experience the wild, with their feet firmly in the dust. This ultimate connection with the earth, culture and wildlife in a very up-close and personal way gives an experience that is exclusive in the real sense of the word, as well as being very much away from the pressures of ‘normal’ life. Since these retreats offer tented accommodation, there is a degree of compromise required concerning the frills and other ‘add-ons’ that you might expect in a permanent lodge or camp. However, there is still a strong focus on ensuring complete comfort. Those prepared to forego some conventional ‘necessities’ so that they are unencumbered by buildings and all the paraphernalia that goes with them, will be able to go to sleep hearing only the noisy silence of the desert and to wake up to a chorus that announces the start of a new day. It is the kind of intimacy that can only be achieved by taking guests to the most wild, remote and private places, and keeping them well away from the beaten path.
