A sign in the bush!

I said that I will show you the boutique tent that we stayed in on the glamping trip.

Camping has been upgraded with the catchy word glamping and now they call it boutique camping.

Many guys struggle to get their girlfriends or their wives to go and stay with them in a tent that is situated in the wild. Or even in their own tents for that matter. But guys, all is not lost, as if your ladies see this tent they will queue to go with you :)
We booked for 4 days, but sadly could only stay for two and it was a very enjoyable two-day adventure.

Now we are not the type that can sit around in an air-conditioned tent the whole day, as there was much to explore and to see. I believe in extracting full value from our short break aways and we go out far and wide. It was really a great visit and bone tired at night, one can sit at a fire after a hot private shower. But somebody has to make the fire and luckily, I have been making fires since my childhood as I had to keep the little hot water combustion stove on the go for my gran, my mom, my two sisters and lastly me to bath.
But I digress, so come and see.

We arrived at the main gate entry, and one has to enter a code for the gate to open.

Our first view, and you can see how lovely this is.

We were in the process of unloading the car and I snapped a quick shot.

My wife was delighted by the little bird that came to welcome us :)

This little spider also seemed to be excited at our arrival.

Right! Now I will show you the inside of the tent.

But first the wooden deck and the fireplace.

Home away from home isn't it?
A complete kitchen with a gas stove top on the counter and a fireplace for the cold nights.

A full double bed in the room with an air conditioner mounted above the top end of the bed.

A gas geyser runs the shower and a smart hand basin. I am sure that I don't have to show you the full flush toilet at the other end of the bathroom.

So great and here was the kiddies room.

And so, in the late afternoon I started the fire for the meat, and my wife was making a salad inside the tent.

I made sure that the fire was going well, and had some time to take a few photos.

My wife had some spare cheese from the salad, and it is the first time that we saw a Masked Weaver and a Fiscal Shrike eating together, as they are normally enemies. But hunger creates new friendships :)

Look! What do you think this was, as I got a big surprise?

It was a young Malachite Sunbird male, and you can see the mix of colors have not gelled yet to form his normal green coat. But in the photo above, you can see that his back is already well developed.

Just a final shot to show you the beauty.

My apologies for the long post and the long wait to see the inside of the tent, but I wanted to do a top quality post and although typing with only one finger, I was determined to show you the beauty, the place, and the tent, and the birds were a bonus. We made big friends with the birds over the period that we were at the tent, and early morning they were waiting for us so that they could have breakfast. All free of course :)

I hope that you have enjoyed the story and the pictures.

And That's All Friends.
