SAFARI TENTS

Some things are simply done better at the source. Rather than reinvent the safari tent, we went looking for the finest one in existence and found it in South Africa, with one of the oldest and most respected tent manufacturers in the world.

These are not interpretations of a safari aesthetic. They are the genuine article: structures with decades of craft heritage behind them, built to exacting standards by people for whom the canvas tent is not a product but a tradition. The quality is immediately apparent in the weight of the material, the precision of every seam, the way the structure holds its form and presence in any weather.

At Bel Air Asheville, they find their most spectacular setting yet. The African savanna sensibility translated to the Blue Ridge Mountains is a combination as unexpected as it is extraordinary.
