Further Information
Set in half a million acres of private concession, this tranquil, shady
corner is in a pristine wilderness threaded by crystal waters. Surrounded
by open grasslands, island sanctuaries and the papyrus-fringed channels, which
make this part of Africa unique, Abu Camp is the perfect spot from which to
explore this fascinating area. The camp also runs fabulous elephant-back safaris.
Abu Camp's atmosphere is that of the ultimate house party created each week
for ten guests. A ratio of four staff to each guest ensures the best of attention
and service. Accommodation is in luxurious, customised tents, raised on teak
decking and overlooking a lagoon. The tents, described as Bedouin influence
meets the African bush, have fully zipped entrances and roll down canvas on
the windows. All the tents are beautifully and individually furnished with
mahogany four-poster beds or antique sleigh beds. Each tent has an ensuite
bathroom complete with copper or porcelain baths, shower and flush loo.
The dining area is set on layered teak decking that winds its way
around African ebony and sycamore fig trees. An expert safari chef conjures
up magnificent meals, catering to all tastes and dietary requirements. Sundowners
are served in the shade of the trees with abundant cocktails on ice. The sitting
room tent is the perfect place to relax in soft and comfortable chairs. A well-stocked
library is available too, with a number of reference books and beautiful coffee
table books on Africa displayed.
Why?
- The interaction with elephants is quite outstanding and ambience and service
is excellent
Why Not?
- If you are not completely happy in the company of very large animals, I would
not take this safari
