Introduction

The Safari Stingray provides a unique opportunity for you and your friends to 

experience the great outdoors with a whole new level of freedom and comfort.

Tentsile invented Tree Tents as treehouses you can take anywhere, combining 

the versatility of a hammock with the comfort and security of a tent.

The Safari Stingray comprises of a triple hammock, suspended in tension above 

the ground and enclosed in an elegantly simple insect mesh top and removable 

rainfly cover. All materials of the Safari Range are some of the most robust and 

durable of any tent in the world.

The unique design creates a comfortable base camp, irrespective of ground 

conditions, as well as providing increased protection from insects, snakes and 

other predators – if you venture somewhere more exotic.

This product was created because Tentsile loves trees and believes that if we’re 

all hanging out in trees, they can’t cut them down!

20 trees are planted for every Tentsile Tree Tent sold.
