Get your glamp on CLINTON MOODLEY
If you are like me and prefer comfort to roughing it, then glamping is for you. Defined as glamorous camping, glamping offers you the opportunity to embrace the rustic lifestyle while still enjoying the modern comforts of a luxury ‘hotel’ stay. When you are on a glamping trip, you do not have to pitch a tent or light a fire, as everything is done for you. Talk about pampered! Here are four spots in South Africa that you should consider for your next glamping escape:
Sindile luxury tented camp, Shamwari Private Game Reserve Why visit: Sindile luxury tented camp is named after the matriarch of Shamwari’s leopards. Sindile, meaning survivor in isiXhosa, pays homage to the leopardess that survived numerous maulings by lions to raise her five litters of cubs which comprise Shamwari’s leopard population today. You are bound to hear stories of the fearless animal when you visit.
What to expect: Sindile offers nine premier luxury tents that boast stunning views of Bushman’s River and surrounding plains. Each tent can accommodate two people. The tent is kitted with wi-fi, air conditioning, a private minibar, a Nespresso coffee machine, an outdoor shower, an en suite bathroom with bath and shower, and a private deck with a heated plunge pool and lounging area under a pergola. ● Visit: www.shamwari.com/our-lodges/sindile/
