Is your canvas due for replacement?

Over time, the canvas may need replacing, usually after around 8 to 10 years of use. That’s completely normal, especially for tents that stay outside all year round. You don’t need to buy a completely new safari tent. In many cases, we can easily replace the canvas or parts of it for you. Depending on the model you have, we’ll find the best solution together.

Feel free to contact us, we’ll be happy to help you. Soon your safari tent will look as good as new!
