Mobile camping meets environmentally-friendly standards

Safari property specialist Sanctuary Lodges & Camps has upgraded its private luxury mobile camps in Kenya, giving clients the best means to experience East Africa’s wildlife areas. Adhering to the company’s ongoing efforts to set a global benchmark for sustainable tourism, the mobile camps will all operate on an environmentally-friendly basis.

The luxury lodge operator has introduced solar power for lighting and ecological sewage disposal systems in all its refurbished tents in Kenya. New custom-designed tents have also been launched using interior products made by local craftsmen and women. Sanctuary Lodges & Camps now plans to upgrade its mobile camps in Tanzania.

Sanctuary’s mobile camping allows guests to actively follow the African animals with an experienced professional safari guide, who will liaise with guests before and during a safari to design an itinerary to suit guests’ own pace and interests. A mobile expedition has no fixed timescale and all schedules are customised according to guests’ desires and the movement of the big game.

Sanctuary’s private mobile camps can be located deep in the African bush at secluded campsites chosen for their privacy and excellent game-viewing opportunities.

The luxury tents have been custom-made using heavy duty canvas and boast private sleeping facilities with large comfortable beds that are covered with luxurious Egyptian cotton sheets and protective mosquito nets. They have all been beautifully furnished with African cushions and hand-woven rugs in warm organic colours to blend in with the surroundings. A personal butler is also included for an extra level of five-star service.

Guests can enjoy relaxation and candle-lit meals with unlimited wine, spirits, beers and soft drinks in a main tent. Sanctuary chefs prepare all menus with fresh ingredients and bake the finest breads and pastries for breakfast. The company can create meal plans to suit guests’ preferred schedules and can prepare delicious picnics to take into the bush if requested.
