We absolutely loved our stay in Safari. A very unique idea! Had everything you would want! Perfect getaway for a couple! Easy contactless check in, very clean, wonderful amenities, quiet, serene, cozy! Hot tub was very relaxing. Host reached out to make sure we were good and if we needed anything. I appreciated that, thought it was very thoughtful. Highly recommend!!!

Quiet peaceful wonderful location

My husband and I travel every year for our anniversary and this place is our new favorite! The location is so quiet and peaceful but close to Bryson city downtown. The safari tent we stayed at had everything we needed and more. Lovely bathroom with a large shower and a bathtub to soak in. Host was available if we needed anything and getting to and in our place was so easy. Will definitely be back.

Ultimate Tent Trip

This place was much nicer it being my first for a tent. The inside was as comfortable as many 5 star hotels. We are already talking about a return trip. The surrounding area was quiet and peaceful. No one close by but convenient to down town. Bryson City was a treat with all the little shops and restaurants. Many attractions in the area.

Awesome place to stay.

Very clean. Had everything that was in the description. Quite and piecful. Not to far from town so if you need anything it doesnt take a long time to run out and get it. Everything worked. Hot tube is nice and private.I would recommend this place to anyone.My wife loved the deep bath tube.

Amazing

Wonderful stay at Safari! The host has thought of everything! Hard to believe you're in a tent. Private enough with how each tent is positioned. The only concern we had was the mattress. Not bad just different. A little difficult to find the sweet spot but that would not keep us from staying again.
