There’s getting away from it all and then there’s Sun City Camp. Laid out amid rugged towers of rock in a seemingly endless sea of rust-coloured sand, the setting resembles the surface of some far-flung planet as much as it does any corner of Earth. This is a place of wide-open spaces and endless skies – piercing desert blue by day, transitioning by night to a velvety black canopy alive with distant stars.
The camp’s accommodation builds on the otherworldly sensations conjured by its desert setting. Sun City’s signature Martian Domes, mounted on raised wooden platforms with private decks, add a space-age spin to desert life. Air conditioning keeps temperatures below the canvas dome cool and comfortable, while soft king-sized beds positioned before the wall of geometric windows make for an unforgettable wake-up call each morning. For a more traditional feel, you can also opt for one of Sun City’s Bedouin Tents or enjoy more space in a one or two-bedroom Panoramic Suite.
