Each safari-style tent at Colugo Camp can accommodate up to four guests.
SINGAPORE – Colugo Camp, a new permanent glamping site at Mandai Wildlife Reserve, will welcome guests from Aug 8.
Rest and relax in 20 sq m safari-style tents, which can accommodate up to four guests with a queen-size bed and a bunk bed.
The 20 tents – some designed for wheelchair accessibility – are equipped with a ceiling fan, standing fan, portable air-conditioning unit and Wi-Fi.
Each one also has an outdoor patio that overlooks Upper Seletar Reservoir. Shared toilet and shower facilities are available within the camping area.
Managed by Mandai Wildlife Group, the rates are $550 for one night for two people, $700 for three and $800 for four, with the option to extend stays at the same rate.
Meals are included – welcome drink, international buffet breakfast, Asian buffet dinner and light supper – all served at the communal dining hall. Guests are discouraged from eating in their tents to prevent attracting wildlife, such as the long-tailed macaque.
