Our camp site is situated on stunningly beautiful private land surrounded by beech woods and rolling chalk downland, just a short stroll from the South Downs Way. Look at the photo of Firle Beacon above by Daniel Wynn, the Firle campsite is tucked in under the high point.
Sleeping: The Safari Britain camp sleeps a max of 18 people (including toddlers) in nine canvas bell tents. We provide foam mattresses, cotton bottom sheets, pillows and pillow cases. All you need to do is either bring a sleeping bag or a duvet. If you want us to provide a duvet with a cover, there will be an extra charge of £10 each.
The Living Yurt: There is a huge 22 foot yurt on a wooden platform (very Little House on the Prairie) exotically furnished with cow hides, sheep skin rugs, big sofas and tons of cushions. There’s a wood burning stove, big Moroccan lamps and beautifully painted bookshelves and cupboards full of maps, nature reference books, a guitar, board games, cards, cricket bats etc.
Cooking can be done on gas in the fully-kitted kitchen inside an 18ft yurt or in good weather either on the central fire place or the BBQ. We don’t like plastic, so all cooking and eating is done off lovely old bits of crockery hunted down in flea markets and antique shops. We have lots of old French enamel cooking ware, enamel crockery, silver plated cutlery, proper wine glasses, big copper pots and a heavy duty frying pan ½ a metre wide.
The eco-loo is in a wooden hut with saloon style doors and binoculars so that you can admire the wonderful view at leisure.
Showers and hot water: We have an amazing tree shower, powered by a wood burning stove, tucked inside an ancient beech tree.
Provisions: We provide gas, wood, charcoal, drinking water, cool boxes, candles, matches, fire lighters, cleaning kit, loo paper, soap and a basic larder of herbs and condiments. All you need to bring is your own food and drink.
Rubbish: Please bring as little food packaging with you as possible. All rubbish has to be physically man-handled off the site – so please help us cut down on waste.
