Sleep in our new Camp Okapi campground tucked away in the Wilds of Africa! Tents sit atop wooden decks overlooking a rustic firepit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and singing around the campfire. Tent features include cots, fans, and electrical outlets. Each tent accommodates ten (10) guests total and may be mixed-family and mixed-gender. We offer a special rate if you would like to reserve an entire tent (based on availability).
