camping question....non traditional camping

I have heard of this fancy type of camping. Your camp is set up for you and there are massages, etc. Does anyone know what I am talking about? Can anyone provide me with a link?

Thanks. I know this is a bit of an "off topic".

"Glamping....Three-night packages begin at $4,100 a person, double occupancy. "

WOW...we don't spend that much on a 4 week trip for two!

Wow tina,

for that much money, I think I'd rather spend a bit more do a real African safari!

Oh there's a lot of those ! Here's one that is one my wish list:

Oh, and those Abercrombie safari tours all over the world with the tents and oriental rugs and hot outdoor showers.....yup, and I like regular camping too, but there's nothing like some warmth, comfort, brandy and fine food at the end of the day either !

RedRock--Those are luxuries, lol! DD likes those, but the rest of us prefer to backpack and get away from even those.
