Popular Glamping Spots – South Africa – Luxury Tented Camps. Glamping is a kind of camping, with luxury accommodation and amenities. It is perfect for city dwellers to explore the wild and entirely unique regions of the country, without giving up creature comforts. Glamping, or glamorous camping, has become increasingly popular in recent years, and South Africa is a great location for this luxurious outdoor experience. Glamping in a tented camp is an unforgettable way to experience the country’s natural beauty and wildlife, all while enjoying luxurious amenities and services. Activities that are commonly offered at tented camps include game drives, guided bush walks, and bird watching. Night drives are also a highlight, and some camps also offer spa treatments, yoga classes and other wellness activities. Many tented camps offer delicious and sophisticated cuisine, as well as outdoor dining experiences around a campfire under the stars.
