Best For teen travel

Let’s be honest; holidays with teenagers need a little extra oomph. Hotels and resorts like these are jam-packed with boredom-busting activities that will have your teen raving to their mates about “the best holiday ever.”

the Low Down

Something out of the ordinary! Dera Amer isn’t your average hotel – instead of cars, it has camels and elephants; instead of a high-end restaurant, it has a torch-lit dining pavilion; instead of rooms, it has luxury tents! Six sumptuous safari style tents are dotted around acres of wild shrubland, providing you with all the creature comforts you desire whilst in the most peaceful setting: in fact, there’s no- one else around for miles. Bespoke furnishings are taken from the Raj era models: travellers would have been reclining on the same Cawnpore Cots and Planters chairs centuries ago. Sit back in front of a roaring bonfire, with a drink in one hand and the scent of a live barbecue in the air, whilst music and dance performances are presented by local folk artists. Whether a honeymooning couple, or a family with children, there is no experience that quite compares to your own secluded wilderness camp accompanied by Dera Amer’s friendly elephants.

  • You get to befriend the local elephants – this includes bathing them, feeding them and generally getting to know them!
  • Experience an elephant or camel safari adventure where you’ll get to witness many cultural heritage sites and local temples.
  • Maintained by local villagers and camp staff, Dera Amer’s expanding vegetable plot is entirely organic and free from pesticides. It is harvested using traditional farming techniques, solar panelled water pumps and drip irrigation.

    Comfortable colours in neutral tones (fluorescents were not made for safari). Dera Amer equips each tent with a pair of binoculars and a book on local birds.
