It is difficult to surprise a tourist in the XXI century with anything: many routes have been passed and the cuisines of the world have been tried. At the beginning of the century, a new type of accommodation, glamping, entered an active phase of development. To be more precise, it is not so new, because its concept originated in the ancient centuries: when royal persons went hunting, magnificent tents with all kinds of conveniences were set up for them.

Glamping (glamorous camping) has absorbed all the best from camping and an ordinary hotel: instead of a sleeping bag, travelers have comfortable king-size beds with orthopedic mattresses and high-quality sheets, and instead of a traditional camping thermos and fish soup in a kettle, they have access to the haute cuisine menu, while relaxing in spacious safari tents in nature, enjoying all the benefits of civilization (including Wi-Fi).
