Safari Tent with Attic or Two-Story Safari Tent, How to Choose?

In this article, we will introduce the safari tent with attic – B45, and compare it with the two-story safari tent – BGL45 in price, appearance, structure, and area, hoping to help you better choose a safari tent suitable for family guests.

The Safari tent with attic(loft) – B45 is perfect for family glamping stays. It is based on the classic safari tent – B40, and we added:

• Optional attic kit
• Optional kitchenette kit
• Increased the length of the tent from 8m(B40) to 9m(if you don’t have enough space, you can still choose to add a attic kit on the basis of B40)

These improvements were made after we listened to feedback from many glamping resort owners/operators:

• There are often family guests with 1-2 young children who need extra space and a bed for the children
• Sometimes they need to do some simple cooking

The price of B45 is about half of BGL45. The price of B45 with the Attic Kit is about 65%-70% of BGL45.

In appearance, B40 and B45 are almost the same, but you can see the structure of the attic inside through the curtain of B45. The two-story safari tent – BGL45 is totally different from B40/B45, you can see its two-story structure directly from the outside.
