Kimbla-Mantana Mobile Camping Safari Standards

A gentle "Good Morning" and steaming coffee or tea brought to the tent rouses you to a brilliant African dawn. Later you may finish a game drive in some spectacular and remote area, only to find an impromptu bush kitchen ready to serve you an amazing cooked breakfast under an acacia tree.

Our large, luxurious safari tents with en-suite shower and toilet areas, comfortable beds and bed linen ensure a good night's sleep. Our flexibility provides tented facilities that can vary accordingly to all the needs of our clients.

Hot showers to rinse off the dust, fresh baked bread, and chilled wine served around the campfire in the evening make camping safaris with us a memorable experience.
