Ultra-luxe sleep out
under the Milky Way

Kick Your Travel Bucket List up a Notch with an ultra-luxe sleep out under the Milky Way

Star beds… Imagine literally counting the shooting stars as you are about to fall asleep? This is not a simply sleep out – this is an adventure with Africa, one-on-one.

Africa is blessed with crazy constellations and soaring stars that flood our skies once the sun dances back down below the horizon every evening.

Booking a star bed is not camping by any means. Be it a rooftop bed, a treehouse or a lakeside camp — it is a whole experience and it comes with candle lights and champagne and maybe a picnic dinner prepared by a 5-star chef.

The location is generally strategic, like a passage of many animals, drawn to the water in the coolness of early evening and morning. Watch on from your bed, shower, or breakfast table… Rest assured, each star bed is securely constructed above the ground, so the animals remain at a safe and comfortable distance.

Your field guide will provide a full orientation before he departs. But he is always on call via radio until he collects you the next morning, after sunrise and a good breakfast. As you arrive at sunset to a picnic, spend the dusk hours spotting wildlife out in the bush… And fall asleep counting shooting stars.

A Star bed experience is booked in conjunction with your lodge accommodation. You don’t check out of your suite – it’s still yours, ready for your return. We are ready to share our very own inspirational selection of simply amazing star beds in almost every part of Africa, simply unbeatable for Honeymooners or general starry-eyed romantics, but also families looking for an epic adventure!
