Willow Rush | Traditional Safari Tent

Our first tent (and considered by many to be our best) Willow Rush has been a guest favourite since we first opened our tent flaps to the world. The name is inspired by the soothing sound of rushing water from a nearby creek and the willow trees surrounding the pond. Willow Rush is situated on a knoll overlooking our spring-fed pond and features a King-size bed and is the only tent with a private dining area beneath a covered gazebo.
