Garden Route tented camps offer a unique experience with generous mosquito nets, heavy canvas flaps opening onto the savannah, and colonial-style Big 5 viewing accompanied by sundowners in the bush.
These tented camps should not be mistaken for traditional camping holidays with caravans, ground cloths, and tent stakes as they provide a more luxurious and immersive experience.
Combining tented camps with the Garden Route allows visitors to enjoy the best of wildlife alongside the beauty and lushness of one of the country’s most scenic coastal routes.
