We love flycamping because it brings you back to the heart of safari. It’s simple, yes, but that’s the beauty. A small tent, a campfire, a few comforts, and the wide African sky above you.
There’s coffee brewing over the fire as the sun rises, a mirror tied to a tree where you splash your face, and a bed waiting for you under canvas and you feel completely part of the landscape.
As travel specialists, we recommend it because it offers something a lodge cannot: closeness. You hear the sounds of the bush more clearly, you notice the stars more brightly, you remember how little you need to feel alive. It’s not about giving things up , it’s about gaining a connection that stays with you long after you leave.
One or two nights is ideal. Long enough to feel the adventure, short enough to return refreshed to the comfort of your main camp. Most travellers choose to add a single night of flycamping within a longer safari itinerary.
The dry season (June to October, depending on the region) is the best time. Cooler evenings, clear skies, and easier access to remote spots make it the perfect setting. During wetter months, flycamping is often not possible as camps move with the weather.
