Knepp Safaris

Knepp is home to incredible safaris across 3,500 acres, taking in its superb free roaming wildlife. Suitable for families with little ones over 12, it's hard to imagine a more unique camping or glamping experience in the Sussex countryside than at this special place. Take it all in from camping pitches in lush meadows or any one of shepherd's huts, bell tents, luxurious yurts or even a superb treehouse, with wild swimming, pizza ovens and more.

About Knepp Safaris

A truly wild experience in nature, the Knepp Wildland Project is set around a farm in beautiful Sussex country. No matter that you're in a haven of wildlife, it's just an hour and a half from London and 40 minutes from Brighton and the seaside. Camping pitches are offered in a tempting wildflower meadow beside an ancient woodland. Staff are careful to limit campers and avoid overcrowding. To keep the incredible dark skies and help everyone see the stars, there's no lighting at night - so do bring a torch. There are a range of unique and handcrafted shepherd's huts to enjoy, set in gorgeous woodland and offering a fantastic romantic break. Some contain beds that suit shorter guests, and you may find if you are taller that you are more comfortable in the spacious beds of the bell tents. The bell tents have all the luxury of a kingsized bed, decorated with quirky vintage furniture. The two yurts are spacious, each with a king size bed where you can blissfully spread out - they're set off with unique, character filled furniture. The treehouse is the most recent arrival at Knepp, built in an oak tree and set in its own secluded corner. It includes stunning views from a platform four feet off the ground, nestled in a mature oak.

Open from 7 April to 30 October
