Read the text and answer questions 1 to 8. Glamping has become one of those increasingly popular travel industry buzzwords over the past few years. But what is glamping? And why is it becoming such a popular form of travel now? According to the Oxford Dictionary, glamping is ‘a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping’. It’s also known by other names, including luxury camping or boutique camping. But regardless of what you call it, the gist is that it offers travellers an opportunity to be out in the wild without having to carry and put up their own tents, sleep on the ground, or stumble to the bathroom in the dark. These days, glamping accommodations have become even more luxuriously lavish, with posh amenities such as flat-screen TVs, pillow-top mattresses, jetted tubs, heated slate floors and personal butlers available. One such glamping resort is the Ngala Tented Camp in South Africa. Located on the banks of the Timbavati River, the resort’s remote tented safari camp offers the ultimate upscale African escape. It is in the heart of the Ngala Private Game Reserve, and just 3 kilometers. from the Orpen gate of Kruger National Park. * A perfect blend of classic and contémporary, nine sophisticated suites were constructed to create the lightest possible ecological footprint. Each one features gorgeous décor, screens and ceiling fans to create oversized bathtubs, outdoor showers and private porches from which you can watch wildlife drinking from the river. Wildlife lovers will adore the daytime and nighttime game drives, which offer the classic Big 5 safari experience without the crowds you'll encounter at Kruger. The drives and bush walks are led by expert Shangaan trackers and rangers, whose knowledge of the local flora and fauna leads to exceptional sightings and photography opportunities. At night you will return to the beautifully designed camp, which blends traditional and contemporary influences in the most stunning natural setting you can imagine. , Whether you are dining by the pool or having a banquet in the bush, their scrumptious Pan-African cuisine will provide a memorable way to end each incredible day.
