safari camp

African bush accommodation

A safari camp is a lodging facility in African wilderness areas, typically offering guided wildlife viewing excursions.

Camps range from basic tented accommodations to luxury resorts with permanent structures: We stayed at a safari camp in the Serengeti.

The term evokes the organized expeditions of colonial-era big game hunting, now largely replaced by photographic tourism.
