Thatch & Canvas

When the sun plummets towards the horizon, you’ll be around the camp fire or on the lodge veranda recounting the trials and wonders of the day. Westminster Safaris will accommodate you in a variety of settings. The seclusion of a rustic fly-camp and the opulence of an exclusive lodge will both offer you a fine supper and peaceful rest.

Luxury Mobile Tented Camps

Westminster’s camp crew assembles the canvas and creates the night’s settlement in the most dynamic settings. Every evening, the backdrop to your sundowner will offer new silhouettes, a different hue. This is professional camping – hot showers, flush loos, a convivial meal, clinking glasses of fine wine, the glow of paraffin lamps and, behind the rasping zip of the tent’s entrance, total privacy amongst diaphanous netting and cool bed linen.

Exclusive Lodges and Permanent Encampments

The muted elegance of these properties will offer you new surprises, as your private camp becomes familiar and homely. You’ll be impressed by the simplicity of their design and the way in which local materials are crafted using indigenous skills to create stylish, sustainable structures that compliment the landscape. We select these lodges because we think you’ll find them delightful; perhaps the owners are inspiring and will share the secrets of the area with you, maybe there’s a reciprocity between the local people and the lodge that will provide you with an insight into the community’s way of life, or perhaps the lodge itself has world-wide renown as a top safari destination and, thumbing through its guest book, you can read what other high profile visitors enjoyed about their stay.
