Fly Camping
If you're heading on an African safari, how about considering a night sleeping out under the stars or in a simple tent or mosquito net?
Certainly this is for the more adventurous and those who aren't going to jump out of their skin at every noise, but if that's you, you'll love the feeling of being out in the middle of nature with nothing between you and the wild.
Days are usually spent exploring on foot or in a 4x4 before you reach your camp for the night. It’s considered the ultimate bush experience by many.
I didn't think I'd get much sleep to be honest, but I slept so well. And waking up in the morning as the sun rose, and being out there in the bush ... it was just so special.

Sasaab near Samburu, Kenya
Simplicity as you camp alongside a dry riverbed, beneath shady trees, or out under the star-studded sky. Wherever you are, you can bet there won’t be anyone else around. Oh, apart from your own Samburu warrior-guard who stays discretely with you overnight in case you have any problems, and until your chef and guide come to get up you early to start the day with a good breakfast!
