Abu Camp travel tips and stories. Vacations ideas, cruises, spa and resorts

Abu Camp is luxurious remote place offering three-night stays and elephant-back safaris. Guests arrive and depart together to appreciate, at the same peace, the diversity of flora and fauna found there in the open savannas. Bedfellows stay in custom-made tents set on raised decks adjacent to their own private, natural lagoon. All tents in the camp are equipped with four-poster beds and come complete with full baths and private bathrooms.

Each tent has own private deck, and separate outdoor layered teak deck and viewing platform built around matured sycamore and ebony trees that can double as a dinning area, with fine wine and gourmet cuisine prepared by Abu Camp‘s experienced safari chef. A newly built villa across the lagoon sleeps up to four people and comes with its own chef, butler and private pool.

Abu Camp is named after former resident celebrity elephant Abu. The camp’s elephants grant unprecedented and unfettered access to resident herd of zebra, antelope, giraffe, and buffalo. Sunrise and sunsets rides are offered daily, as well as extended daylong safaris that transplant you into the midst of the wildlife.
