Glamping / Safari tent / Yurt

Grutte Fiif Safari lodge with air conditioning


Sturdy, luxury glamping tent with quiet air conditioning, unique extra kitchen on veranda, private backyard and bathroom. For 4 people. At campsite Yn'e Lijte in Grou near Alde Feanen National Park.

The Grutte Fiif Safarilodge (or 'Big Five' Safarilodge in Frisian) is a cool and attractive glamping tent for max. 4 people (35m2 and 15m2 covered porch). With silent (cold or hot) air conditioning, 2 bedrooms (double bed and a bunk bed), a bathroom with shower, toilet and sink and kitchen with dishwasher, microwave and Nespresso. And a normal front door with lock.

The park has a reception, playground, swimming jetty, laundry, recycling center and restaurant Oan't Wetter.

The safari lodge is spacious so also wonderful during a rainy day. Inside you will find a TV with NLZiet programs, children's toys and there is secure private, free Wifi (max. 10Gb per day). There is also a kitchen, dishwasher, coffee maker and thermos flask (handy on a cycling day), Nespresso, microwave, kettle and large fridge with freezer compartment.

As the only safari tent in Grou, you will not only find a lounge set and dining table on our covered veranda (with mood lighting in the evening), but also an extra outdoor kitchen. And there is also a sheltered spacious backyard with Weber bbq, seating, dining set and beautiful sandbox.

The unique outdoor kitchen also has a gas hob (and grill plates too) and there is an electric pancakes/pancakes maker. Cooking outside while the rest of the family sits on the porch or plays outside.

In the nice backyard is a sitting area, dining table with 4 chairs, a Weber bbq and a nice sandbox.

In the atmospheric glamping tent you really imagine yourself in Africa because of the interior and photos on the wall. But you will also discover the photos of the big five of De Alde Feanen National Park here. The Alde Feanen is a beautiful National Park: rent a boat or take a bike for a nice trip through this nature and discover the 'big fiif' for yourself.

The Safarilodge is centrally located in Friesland, near Grou and many other nice Frisian villages and towns. So there is always something fun to do, rain or shine!

Two bedrooms with excellent Eastborn mattresses
In the master bedroom there is a double bed (160x200) and a clothes rack. The other cozy bedroom has a bunk bed with excellent mattresses and an open wardrobe. All beds have single 4-season duvets. The linen sets are ready. Do you want to start your holiday relaxed right away? Then choose the option 'beds made on arrival'.

Sockets are available everywhere!

Final cleaning and reservation fees are included!

Grou and surroundings
Our safari lodge is located on the island and water park Yn'e Lijte. This island is connected to Grou by one bridge and a ferry. Grou is a lively and cozy water sports village, in the middle of Friesland.

The island of Yn'e Lijte is located in the wetland area of the Alde Feanen National Park. This area invites you to go fishing or to go on the water with your own boat or a rented boat (with our discount voucher if necessary!).

In the summer season you can also cycle a beautiful '8 van Grou' cycle route - or the ferry route . A beautiful trip that takes you through beautiful nature and where you will encounter various ferries and taverns along the way. Highly recommended!
You can also rent a bicycle, there is even an electric cargo bike for rent. Ask us about the special offers service!
