If the term ‘safari’ conjures images of African planes, it’s time you reimagined the concept. Now, you can set up camp in luxurious safari tents in the Barossa Valley and end the day around a fire with a fine drop of grape juice in hand.

This newly pitched eco-luxe 12-tent glamping site, launched by Discovery Parks, is now open for travellers who like the idea of wild animal watching, but prefer the comfort of safety and wine. Surrounded by native gums and sprawling vineyard views, these are no ordinary tents either. Each tent features a private three-metre deck, an ensuite, a sleek kitchenette and one very spacious bedroom.

Neighbouring your all-weather-proof, eco-friendly canvas accommodation under the stars is a swimming pool with heated spa, outdoor cooking facilities and a chic lounge area where you can unwind in the presence of the region’s natural beauty. Better yet, it’s less than a half hour drive from Adelaide – making it an easily accessible weekend destination.
