The Evolution of Safari Lodging: From Basic Camps to Luxury Tented Accommodation

 When you think of a safari, what comes to mind? Perhaps the exhilarating sight of a lion stalking its prey or the majestic presence of elephants traversing the open plains. But beyond the wildlife, the way we experience safaris has undergone a dramatic transformation—especially when it comes to accommodations.



What once began as simple campsites has evolved into opulent Luxury Tented Accommodation, offering modern travelers the perfect blend of adventure and comfort. Let’s take a journey through the evolution of safari lodging, from its humble beginnings to the extraordinary Safari Luxury Tents of today.

Traditional Safari Camps: A Glimpse into the Past

In the early days of safari expeditions, accommodations were as basic as they came. Adventurers, explorers, and hunters set up temporary camps with simple canvas tents, a basic cot, and little more than a lantern for illumination. These camps served a functional purpose—providing shelter in the wilderness while keeping travelers as close to nature as possible.

While this rustic experience had its charm, it lacked the conveniences that modern travelers now seek.

The Rise of Comfort: Mid-20th Century Innovations

As safari tourism gained popularity, the demand for improved accommodations grew. By the mid-20th century, safari camps began incorporating essential comforts such as proper beds, mosquito netting, and shared bathroom facilities. These enhancements marked the transition from rugged camping to a more refined safari experience.

This period also saw the introduction of semi-permanent camps, allowing guests to enjoy a balance between wilderness immersion and essential comforts.

The Modern Era: Safari Luxury Tents Redefining Wilderness Stays

Today, Luxury Tented Accommodation has revolutionized the safari experience. No longer just a place to sleep, these elegantly designed tents offer a five-star retreat in the heart of the wild. Imagine waking up in a spacious, beautifully furnished tent with a plush king-sized bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a private deck that opens to breathtaking views of the African savannah.

At Drunken Elephant Mara, we have embraced this transformation, offering guests an unparalleled experience in the Maasai Mara.
