Savannah Nights: Wild, Magical, Unforgettable
Imagine spending a night in our fly camp under the vast African sky, sleeping on the open plains in East Africa surrounded by the sounds and sights of the wild. Experience this unique and unforgettable adventure with us that will allow for a deeper and closer connection to the wilderness. Enjoying a savannah sleepover is an adventure for the curious and romantic. You will spend the night in a comfortable tent with a mosquito net and warm bedding and have a guide to ensure your safety and comfort. You will also have a chance to enjoy a delicious dinner around a campfire, savouring a favourite beverage while listening to stories and legends from the local culture.
But the real magic happens when the sun sets and the stars emerge. You will be amazed by the beauty and brightness of the night sky free from any light pollution, where you can see the Milky Way and countless other constellations. Staring up into the darkness, you may also see satellites and shooting stars streaking through the heavens. Listen to the symphony of the birds, insects and wildlife as they settle and call at different stages throughout the night. If you are lucky, you may hear the cackling laughter of hyena, the splashing of elephants in a river, or the low roaring of lion calling to each other through the darkness. Nocturnal creatures like owls, nightjars, bats, and porcupine may be seen.
Sleeping under the stars is a rare opportunity to connect with the natural world. It is a way to escape the noise and stress inside our heads and be immersed in Africa’s beauty, serenity and mystery. It is a night you will never forget and will always cherish.
