Best dog-friendly safari tent

Safari Tent 1 Kingfisher at Dovestone Holiday Park – Lancashire

New for 2024, this dog-friendly safari tent is located just outside of the Peak District National Park, the perfect choice for a glamping getaway with your furry friend! Dovestone Reservoir is right on your doorstep for pretty waterside walks, while the Pennine Way is only a couple of miles away.

Best family-friendly safari tent

Safari Tent at Love2Stay Shrewsbury – Shropshire

Sleeping 6 people across 3 bedrooms (plus up to 2 dogs), we think this Shropshire safari tent is a great option for glamping with children. Summer stays are all about BBQs and picnics on the deck and dog walks in the Shropshire Hills, while winter breaks are best spent telling stories around the firepit or cosying up with a classic Christmas film in front of the open log fire. The resort itself is also set up well for families, with a natural swimming pool, outdoor play area and fishing lake all onsite, plus you can book activities like paddleboarding, kayaking and archery. There's also an onsite restaurant if you don't fancy cooking yourself - although the safari tent does have a fully fitted kitchen.

Best safari tent near the beach

Safari 5 at Blue Hills Holiday Park - Cornwall

If you fancy combining a countryside glamping break with a seaside stay, then this safari tent in Cornwall may be just the ticket! This luxury safari tent, which sleeps up to 5 adults and children, is right by the St. Agnes Heritage Coast in North Cornwall, just 15 minutes' walk from the secluded beach at Trevellas Cove and a 10-minute drive from the golden sands of Perranporth. Beds are made up on arrival, so you don't need to waste anytime before hitting the beach!

Best safari tent for group holidays

Deluxe Safari Lodge 3 at Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa - Dorset

Another coastal gem, this time in Dorset, the safari tent at Bowleaze Cove Holiday Park & Spa is ideal for a fun family holiday or group getaway with friends, with enough room for up to 8 people and 2 dogs. The location in Dorset is hard to beat - you'll be staying on the edge of the Jurassic Coast and within walking distance of Weymouth, with its pretty harbour and beautiful beaches. There's also plenty of onsite facilities to keep the whole group happy, from the indoor heated pool, spa and gym to the beach bar, diner and entertainment venue. Did we mention you have a private hot tub as well?
