tented camps

Temporary fabric shelters

Tented camps are accommodations using large, semi-permanent tents rather than fixed buildings, typically in remote or scenic locations.

The term most often describes luxury safari lodges in Africa, where canvas structures offer hotel-like amenities—proper beds, en-suite bathrooms—while maintaining connection to the wilderness: We stayed at a tented camp overlooking the Serengeti.

The phrase also applies to more basic setups for expeditions, refugees, or military operations.
