Deteema’s eight safari tents, including a family unit each feature their own wooden deck, with all the facilities of a luxury camp such as en-suite bathrooms with hot and cold running water, flush toilets and showers. The main deck area is tented and overlooks the Deteema Springs, offering clear views to the comings and goings of Africa.

A game drive at Deteema Springs is an iconic way in which take a safari and get in touch with the wilds. While night safaris are not allowed due to park regulations, Deteema offers amazing opportunities for walking safaris and viewing wildlife from the comfort of the camp.
