Premium Tent

Accommodation Description

The safari tents at Spurwing Island offer a truly immersive stay, capturing the romance and adventure of classic African travel with the ease and comfort of a lodge. Each tent sits under a protective chromadek roof, blending canvas walls with solid fittings to create an airy and tranquil space. Sliding glass doors open onto a shaded deck that overlooks Lake Kariba, where guests can watch the sunrise shimmer on the water or listen to hippos in the evening. Inside, the décor is understated and warm, reflecting the island’s natural beauty. Guests can expect proper ensuite bathrooms, comfortable bedding, and the calm simplicity that comes with sleeping so close to nature. The tents balance rustic charm and comfort beautifully, offering an experience that feels intimate, private, and deeply connected to the wild heart of Kariba.

Setting Description

Nestled among trees near the edge of Lake Kariba, the tented section of Spurwing Island brings you as close as possible to the sounds and sights of nature. The lake stretches endlessly before you, framed by soft hills and open sky, while wildlife gathers along the shoreline. The tents’ decks provide the perfect spot for early-morning coffee or quiet evenings under a starlit sky. From your door, it’s just a short walk to the main lodge for meals, the swimming pool, or a sundowner by the firepit. Days can be spent exploring by boat, spotting elephants and buffalo across the water, or enjoying the stillness that only an island in the wild can offer. Every stay in the tented camp is an invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the wild in comfort and peace.
