Planning and Travel

Choose the right destination

East Africa is home to some of the most amazing wildlife in the world, so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from. Some popular destinations for glamping with families include the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, and the Kruger National Park in South Africa.

Consider the time of year.

The best time to go glamping in East Africa is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this time, the animals are more active and easier to see.

Book your accommodation early.

Glamping is a popular activity in East Africa, so it’s essential to book your accommodation early, especially if you’re travelling during peak season.

Pack the essentials.

In addition to your regular camping gear, be sure to pack plenty of sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat. You may also want to pack a pair of binoculars for wildlife watching.

Be prepared for anything.

The weather in East Africa can be unpredictable, so be prepared for anything. Pack clothes for both hot and cold weather, as well as rain gear.

Having Fun and Enjoy your Glamping Trip

Get involved in the activities.

Don’t just sit back and relax during your glamping trip. Get involved in the activities, such as game drives, bush walks, and cultural experiences. This is a great way to learn about the wildlife and culture of East Africa.

Make time for fun.

Don’t forget to make time for fun activities, such as swimming, playing games, and telling stories. This is a great way to bond with your family and create lasting memories.

Be patient.

Glamping can be a challenging experience, especially for young children. Be patient with your family and be prepared for things not to go according to plan.

Stay safe.

When glamping in East Africa, it’s important to be aware of the dangers of wildlife. Be sure to follow the advice of your guide and never approach any animals.

You can make your glamping experience more memorable by:

• Bringing along a telescope or binoculars so you can get a closer look at the wildlife.
