The Aurora Safari Camp is the first glamp-site in the world of its kind created for arctic winter conditions. Stay in one of the four heated lavvu tents in this eco-friendly camp in the middle of dense forest in Swedish Lapland.
The Aurora Safari Camp is situated 70 kilometers from Luleå. Here in the middle of the forest you are far away from any artificial light disturbing your chances of seeing the Northern Lights. The African style tented camp is completely off the grid and road networks, situated about 2 kilometres from the small village Lassbyn where you will find the reception house. The camp is owned and run by a Swedish photographer who can give you tips how to best capture the Northern Lights with your camera.
During the day you can spend time out in the beautiful Lappish environment and take in the sounds from the forest, wildlife, birds and icecaps of the frozen waters. The nearby Råne River is one of the longest free flowing forest rivers in Sweden that has no dams or hydro powers. The river valley has thousands of lakes of various sizes and a lot of small side-rivers. Explore the surroundings on snowshoes, Nordic skis, fatbikes or kick sleds, free to use during your stay.
The camp has four heated lavvu tents, a Sami tent which has been modernised and furnished in a pleasant way. The tent can be set up as a single, double, twin or family setting with up to five beds in each lavvu. Guests are encouraged to chop their own wood (if they wish) for the wood burning stoves and the washroom is located about 20-75 meters from your tent. You can take a shower when you have your own private time in the sauna down by the lake. In summertime the sauna is floating and in wintertime it is freezed into the ice of the lake. One of the most popular things at the camp is the small ice pool where you can take a plunge when warm from the sauna.
Lunch, 3-course dinner and breakfast is included as well as snacks and drinks including a nice selection of beer, wine and a bar menu. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate. Snacks whenever you like.
