Safari Tent Holiday in the Netherlands | Tips & Benefits of Luxury Camping

Curious about a safari tent holiday in the Netherlands? Discover why this is the perfect blend of comfort and nature, along with tips to make the most of your stay!​

Why Choose a Safari Tent Holiday in the Netherlands?

A safari tent holiday in the Netherlands is the ultimate way to combine the great outdoors with the comforts of home. Camping has long been popular, but more and more people are opting for a more luxurious variant: glamping. And for good reason!​

You sleep in a sturdy, spacious tent, but with a comfortable bed, your own kitchenette—and sometimes even a bathroom. No more lugging camping gear or air mattresses; just arrive and start enjoying.​

Moreover, a holiday in your own country is sustainable and stress-free. No traffic jams to the airport, no CO₂ emissions from flying—just close by and yet completely away.​

For families, it's especially attractive: the campsites are child-friendly, car-free, and safe. Children run around freely, help care for animals, and make new friends, while you relax with a book on the veranda.​

In short: immerse yourself in nature without sacrificing comfort. That's the power of a safari tent holiday in the Netherlands.​

Tips to Make the Most of Your Stay

Whether you're a couple or a whole family, these tips will help you get the most out of your safari tent holiday.

1. Pack Smartly

Leave those camping chairs and pots at home—your safari tent is fully equipped. Do bring warm clothing for the evenings, slippers for the shower, and cozy items like candles, games, and blankets.

2. Farm Fun

At FarmCamps, you stay on real working farms. Kids can help care for animals, build huts, or roast marshmallows by the campfire. A unique experience!

3. Create a Cozy Atmosphere Inside

Hang some mood lighting, lay down a rug, and set out snacks and games. A bit of coziness works wonders, especially if the weather turns.

4. Don't Forget to Relax

Also plan moments without activities. Enjoy the view, read a book on the veranda, or watch the sunset together. That's true luxury.

Farm life, Italian style

On the farm: how to get your dog used to other animals

Farm life sounds like a dream to many people, and for dogs it truly is one too. There are new scents to discover everywhere, plenty of space to run around, and all kinds of animals roaming about. Still, that first encounter with a cow, horse or chicken doesn’t always go smoothly. Out of sheer excitement or hunting instinct, your dog can get into serious trouble or scare the livestock badly. According to the experts at labradoodleinfo.nl, a calm and controlled introduction is therefore crucial for the safety of all animals on the farm.
