Camp Figtree: A Luxury Safari Stay Straight Out of Tarzan & Jane, Eastern Cape

30/01/2025

If you’ve ever dreamed of living out your ultimate Tarzan and Jane fantasy—but with a luxury twist—then you need to add Camp Figtree to your 2025 travel bucket list! Nestled high in the hills of Addo, South Africa, this dreamy retreat combines the wild beauty of the bush with an ultra-comfortable glamping experience that will leave you speechless.

Brought to life by The Oyster Collection, Camp Figtree is an exceptional escape where nature and elegance collide. The lodge offers breathtaking two-sleeper safari tents that are anything but basic. Each tent is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a huge, plush bed, a private deck with panoramic views, a walk-in shower, and even a bath with a view. Imagine soaking in a warm tub while watching the sun set over the rolling green hills—absolute bliss! And of course, you’ll have tea and coffee facilities, and a hot water flask delivered each morning, to enjoy those peaceful slow morning moments.

One of the highlights of staying here is the stunning restaurant, where guests are treated to a complimentary breakfast every morning. Whether you’re an early riser or prefer to take things slow, you’ll love starting your day with delicious food and uninterrupted views of the valley. The restaurant also serves lunch and a delectable three-course dinner, making it the perfect spot to unwind after a day of adventure. There's a gin bar setup in the evenings for guests to enjoy sundowners too!

At Camp Figtree, you can choose your own adventure. If you’re in the mood to relax, lounge by the infinity pool or settle into one of the view decks, soaking in the endless scenery. But if adventure calls, you’re in the perfect spot to explore Addo Elephant National Park, home to the famous Big Five. We highly recommend booking an afternoon game drive—we were lucky enough to spot lions on ours, and it was an experience we’ll never forget!

Camp Figtree is one of those rare places that effortlessly blends adventure with indulgence. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a unique safari experience, or just a chance to switch off and reconnect with nature, this glamping retreat is one for the books.

So, what do you think—will Camp Figtree be making it onto your 2025 bucket list?📍🐘✨
