Tented Camp Recommendations

[BnC 04]

Any of our AH members have any input as to where and who you would go through if looking for a PG hunt with tented accommodations?
Fly camp would be great but medical devices need power throughout the night so pretty much marked that option off the list.
Noticed Phillip Bronkhorst has such a setup and just looking for additional ideas.

Appreciate the info and straight shooting to all this season!

Have hunted with Phillip and he has a lovely camp.

Remember that most of these are designed to create the feel of "old Africa" without having to go to a toilette seat sitting over a hole or a shower where some lad sluices river water over your head. Phillip's is one of the better of these. The tents are on concrete pads, with en suite bath and toilette. Electricity is grid rather than generator supplied. The bar/ dinning area is open under a thatched roof with bush babies running around the rafters (very cool). Naturally, he provides wifi. You can nevertheless wake up and find a waterbuck looking through the front door at you at dawn. His camp and hunting would meet pretty demanding requirements.

Maybe a little more detail on what you are looking for. Tented camp but with electricity? I’m sure there are many options.
I’ve spent much time in tented camps for DG but don’t see the necessity for a PG hunt. I guess I get enough of it on those hunts.

These guys have come to several hunting shows over here and as I recall they operate with tented accommodation.

Not looking for anything specific regarding game and such.
I would agree that there isn't much necessity for such a hunt until the better half makes a request for such a trip. Only a fool would back away from such an opportunity or reason to make another trip. My answer is/was "yes ma'am I'll start looking".
Our Covid trip of '20 is this fall so already leaning forward to '22.

She will also like Phillip and his lovely bride. They even have a bush spa.

Takeri reserve @spike.t?

Some of the Zambian operators are running tented camps.
Many have switched over and built chalets as they are easier to maintain and more comfortable for clients though.

BNC, I am sure you have a Budged as well. ?.
I can offer you a Tanzanian Plains-game only hunt in true wilderness, no electricity as we all know it but solar and generator powered, so you will be " lit" all night long. Tents are Luxurious so also no "roughing it"
If there is a tighter budged, I can also help you in South Africa on a 15 000 acre game ranch on the Drakensberg Mountain range, not too far from Kruger, with great Hunting available.
I attach 2 photos, one of our Tanzania camp and one of the RSA option.
If this interests you, please do not hesitate to email me info@spearsafaris.com.

We have tents for client accommodation, but only small solar system to provide lighting in them...unfortunately it wouldn't run medical devices...but nice view across the kafue river from them....

I’m assuming CPAP regards medical device. There are battery-powered units. With just a bit of planning, you should be able to organize a battery/charger combo that works for you. Worst case scenario, you can get a goal zero or something similar system shipped to your outfitter in advance. Donate it to the cause if you don’t want to travel home with it.

Take at look at @Tally-Ho HUNTING SAFARIS they are offering tented accommodations.

Fly Camp Hunt Package US$2,400

Dear Stuart, Great idea. This is something we must look in to for the visit in 2022. for sure we can do that

I have a battery and solar charger for my cpap. I can go off grid as long as I like with it.

I've never been so I can't comment personally but I know in my prior research an AH sponsor @MORETLA SAFARIS has a few tented camp options. https://moretla.co.za/

Have you found the solar charger will top off a battery daily?

 

[spike.t]

Well we got plenty sun ...and if the battery lasts all night can also charge it later in the day with generator if needs topping up....

I am uncertain where you wish to hunt, Africa is a big continent. Luxurious tented camps all over Tanzania all the ones I have used generate power. South Africa mostly lodges, even swimming pools. As I recall the only tented camp I used there was in the Timbavati after buffalo. In the old days Zambia was mostly nice round huts made of reeds, do not know what it is like these days, have heard of lodges and tents. Namibia these days I hear are mostly lodges and bungalows. Mozambique I had luxurious tents. Zimbabwe, you can find both if you ask. My favorite tented safaris have been in Tanzania. Uganda, I had tents. These ramblings not much help but maybe a start. Kindest Regards

Frontier Safaris has tented camps in Namibia. They have two game ranches one in the north and one in the south.
I’ve hunted extensively nearby both but have not been there.

Check out Graham Jones Safaris in Limpopo. Tented permanent camp, but all the necessities you require. Beautiful property, easy to get to, and Graham and Ananda are both excellent hosts and equally talented PH’s.

I stayed in a very nice tented camp with Garry Kelly Safaris.
