There’s nothing like a sleepout under the African night sky!
Grab your PJs and toothbrush and enjoy one of the most thrilling and special experiences in the African bush ‐ a sleepout under a canopy of twinkling stars, surrounded by the incredible African wilderness and serenaded by the unique soundtrack that only nighttime Africa can provide.
Of course, when we say ‘sleepout’ in safari parlance, we don’t mean an uncomfortable, restless night on a thin piece of foam with just a sleeping bag for warmth and a toilet roll for emergencies. We’re talking sensationally sexy sleepouts with the levels of luxury you’d expect from the gorgeous camps and lodges we use across Africa, in custom‐designed treehouses, on amazing viewing decks and platforms, and even in lovingly recreated oversized “nests”!
Let’s take a look at a few of our absolute favorite safari sleepout destinations, starting with three brand‐new overnight offerings…
Tuludi Sky Suite, Botswana
Pampering takes on new meaning at Tuludi Camp’s new Tuludi Sky Suite. Located in the Khwai Private Reserve in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, this open‐ air sleepout deck offers the ultimate romantic Okavango experience, including a private vehicle for the afternoon and morning activities, a dinner basket with wine and drinks of your choice and a gorgeous continental al‐fresco breakfast.
Leroo La Tau Salt Pan Sleepout, Botswana
Botswana’s breathtaking Makgadikgadi Pans can be experienced in a new and exciting way with Leroo La Tau’s Salt Pan Sleepout. This immersive bivouac features less frills and more thrills as luxurious bedrolls are laid out on the vast salt pans alongside your safari vehicle, allowing you to enjoy a camping experience par excellence under the magnificent Milky Way. With a bush toilet and hand basin on hand and the Leroo la Tau team a short distance away, this experience is truly life‐changing.
