Updated: Jul 19, 2023

Choosing Between a Luxury Tented Safari Camp and a Traditional Lodge


When planning your dream safari adventure, the decision between a luxury, tented safari camp and a traditional lodge can feel overwhelming. Both options promise an unforgettable experience, but for those with a sense of adventure and a desire to immerse themselves in nature, we believe tented safari camps like ours at Parsons Hilltop offer the perfect blend of authenticity and comfort.



Here’s why:


1. Embracing the Wild


In the realm of luxury tented safari camps, nature takes centre stage. Imagine waking up in a spacious canvas suite, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the untamed African bush. With only the canvas walls as your barrier, you’ll be closer than ever to nature’s delicate aromas as they filter in on a gentle breeze. As you retire for the night, the soft sounds of the wilderness lull you to sleep, and you awaken to the golden rays of the African sun filtering through the tent's fabric. Truly, there is little more unique and romantic than this – an immersive experience that allows you to reconnect with the wild on a whole new level.


2. Authentic Luxury


Luxury tented safari camps are an ideal solution for the adventurous traveller - combining the allure of camping with the indulgence of a luxury lodge. At Parsons Hilltop, we pride ourselves on providing an authentic, African experience without compromising on comfort. Discover our tastefully furnished tented suites, complete with plush bedding and private en-suite bathrooms that capture the essence of rustic, safari chic. Every detail is designed to ensure your stay is unforgettable while preserving our camp's intimate and wild atmosphere. An authentic, African bush camp at its heart.


3. Up Close and Personal Wildlife Encounters


One thing is for sure, staying in a tented camp like Parsons Hilltop puts you in the heart of the action. With no fences separating us from the bush beyond, a vast array of wildlife has been known to pay us a visit. From majestic elephants taking a midday stroll to the rib-rattling roar of lions as they pass through at night – you never know who might come and say hello!


At Parsons Hilltop Safari Camp, we believe the best way to truly embrace nature is to

become a part of it. Our luxury tented safari camp is nestled in the wilds of the Greater

Kruger, offering a harmonious blend of rustic wilderness and intimacy. For adventure

seekers and nature enthusiasts alike, it is the ONLY way to experience the African bush -

where comfort and canvas meet under the African sky.
