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

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.
