Wheelchair-Accessible Glamping

Access is first-rate at Safari West, with accessible parking near the office and a barrier-free pathway to the lowered front desk. The two accessible safari tents are located next door; and just like their counterparts in upscale African safari camps they include hardwood floors, canvas sides, indoor plumbing and electricity.

Tent 1H is closest to the public areas, including the office, primate enclosures and flamingo landing. It offers accessible parking near the front door, and it boasts a ramped entry, wide doorways and excellent pathway access. It’s furnished with two 25-inch high double beds, with wheelchair access on both sides, two night tables, and a small table with two chairs. The roomy bathroom is equipped with a roll-in shower with a fold-down shower seat, a hand-held showerhead and grab bars. The toilet grab bars are located on the back and right walls (as seated), and there’s also a roll-under sink in the bathroom.

Tent 2H is located directly above tent 1H. It has the same basic access features, but it’s furnished with a king-sized bed. There’s also an accessible pathway from this unit down to flamingo landing, but again, it’s further from the public areas than the other accessible tent.

Best of all both tents have a roomy porch with great views of the compound – the ideal place to watch the sunset or enjoy a glass of wine. And there’s just nothing better that falling asleep listening to the sounds of the jungle. You’ll hear rumblings all night, but that’s just part of the experience.
