Rooms / Tents

The eleven luxury tents at Kandili Camp offer African-themed decor of neutral colors with splashes of oranges and reds complimenting the natural brown of the furniture in each room. Tents are divided between six standard tents, three superior tents and two suites. The classic standard tents offer double, twin, triple and single bedding with en-suite solar-powered bathrooms with hot and cold running water. Power outlets can be found in each tent with a reading table and lantern side lamps provided for guests. 

The superior tents are perfect for that romantic getaway with uninterrupted views of the Leopard Gorge from the tent. Double vanity plus the option to open the shower up to views of the surrounding savannah are other popular reasons guests choose these tents. The two spacious suites feature examples of Swahili art displayed in the bedroom and separate living room which boasts a small reading area. The large terrace is perfect for private dining followed by a nightcap perhaps around the private outdoor fire pit.
