Glamping in The Outback: Arkaba Station
All this week, HotelChatter contributor Eric Rosen lets us tag along as he explores the wild, far reaches of Australia, visiting some of the most untouched landscapes down under, and bringing you inside looks at some of the continent’s most distinctive hotel experiences.
Though we’ve told you about Arkaba Station before in a previous installment of our Glamping Series, I actually got the chance to travel to the dramatic red hills and ancient rock landscape of South Australia’s Flinders Range and stay at the historical homestead myself…and the experience did not disappoint one bit.

Introducing Camp Royale, the latest Royal Wedding package with three nights accomodation for only £75 (approx $120) including free Yorkshire tea—it’s a STEAL! But don’t get too excited just yet as there’s one thing we forgot to mention. Camp Royale is in fact a camp site set up on Clapham Common and tents are not included.
Wait, what?!

Places to Get Your Glamp On: Sanctuary Zebra Plains Walking Safari Camp, Zambia
Where: South Luangwa, Zambia
Last year, we told you about the hottest (and hautest) new trend in travel: glamping. That’s right, glamorous camping- that most ridiculous, and ridiculously awesome, of adventures that let travelers experience the glories of nature in five-star luxury settings (and sometimes with Campfire Butlers).
This week, we’re going to give you a little glamping update, as HotelChatter contributor Eric Rosen tells us about some of the most exciting new experiences out there. So pack your limited edition hiking boots and your diamond-infused sunscreen, because we’re going glamping!
Let's start our global perambulation in the birthplace of both mankind and the luxury camping trend itself - Africa - and the newest adventure from one of our favorite safari outfitters, Sanctuary Retreats. On June 1, they're opening Sanctuary Zebra Plains Walking Safari Camp, a first-of-its-kind walking safari in the pristine wilderness of South Luangwa, Zambia. Guests will spend their days doing things like wandering along riverbanks, observing elephants at their toilette, and then canoeing over to an island where they’ll get to spy on game such as buffalo, zebras and hippos, before returning for sunset cocktails, canapés and then dinner on the Luangwa River. It's designed to be part of a larger safari experience, with a recommended three day stay. Here's the lowdown.

The Dangers of Glamping: Elephants Are Closer Than They Appear
We were slightly obsessed with the best places to go glamping earlier this year but just as we started to think that glamping was all about Louis Vuitton trunks, WiFi, free-standing deep soaking tubs and champagne, this recent incident at the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia quickly ripped the cashmere sleep mask from our eyes.
A photographer and his wife were staying at a resort within the park and while the wife conversed with the lodge's owner, a bull elephant came within three feet of their veranda. Fortunately, the guests were not harmed and the photog even managed to take a snapshot but the presence of wild animals at many of the wildlife resorts, particularly the ones located within national parks and game reserves, is not something to take lightly.
Coincidentally, this not the first time that elephants have decided to check-in to a hotel in Zambia.

Writing Under the Stars at Longitude 131
You might have noticed that we're fascinated with Glamping here at HotelChatter. But with so many Glamping options now available around the world, it takes more than just a fancy tent in the middle of nowhere to get us excited about the thought of sleeping in the great outdoors. Which is why the latest program at Australia's Longitude 131° caught our eye.
The Writing Under The Stars program takes place July 9–11 at the resort located in the Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, and it features a bona fide Aussie literary legend as the star attraction.
