Nestled at the foot of the Caren  Range, the Safari Tents at Ruby Lake Resort provide an outdoor experience like camping, with more comfort and less work :) 

Sleep to the lull of frogs and wake up to birds in one of our tents, located on the upper portion of our 80+ acre property, boasting a lagoon which is a natural wildlife sanctuary as well as a network of walking trails and much to explore - not to mention our dock and waterfront right on gorgeous Ruby Lake. It is a 5 - 10 walk through the trails from the tents down to our onsite restaurant, and to the warm and clear waters of Ruby Lake itself. The tents are located on the upper portion of this property, where you will also find our organic vegetable gardens, some grassy areas for games or picnics, a bird avery, and our gorgeous outdoor amphitheatre.

New this season !!

We are happy to offer our safari tents' guests self-served coffee and tea every morning in our communal bar hut.
The Safari Tents are canvas tents on wooden platforms, all equipped with comfortable beds, power, and light, providing rustic but comfortable accommodations for a true back-to-nature wilderness getaway. This experience is vey much like camping - but with a few added comforts! 

Washroom facilities are shared, and are a short walk from the tents. There are separate mens & ladies facilities with hot showers, sinks, and toilet stalls.We provide with shower towels only, make sure to bring your own beach towels.

Please note that we do not provide daily house-keeping in the tents. For longer stays, housekeeping services will be provided twice per week.
​
Please also note that food in the tents is strictly prohibited, as we are in the wilderness and wish not to attract wildlife on to the property or in to the tents. 
Camp fires are also banned during all hot & dry seasons.

We have a total of 11 tents. There are several different kinds, each with their own unique perks.

Our tents open seasonally from May thru September. 
​
RAINFOREST DELUXE TENT
This is the most private and romantic of all of our safari-style tents. Featuring a king sized bed, electric fireplace, some basic furniture, a large private lagoon-view balcony, as well as it's very own private fenced yard, and outdoor yoga / dance / relaxation platform. This tent also has it's very own private porta-loo, as well as access to the main washroom facilities with hot showers and flush toilets. On one of the most private and lovely spots on the property, overlooking our lagoon and wildlife sanctuary, this one is a honeymooners recluse in the forest. Closer to the lagoon, lake, and restaurant than all of the other tents, please note that this tent is also adjoined to the upper property via a somewhat steep trail, and is walk-in - requiring a certain degree of physical ability, level of fitness, and enthusiasm! 

This tent is brand new to us this season - more photos and reviews to come!! Available commencing in the month of July.
