Picture this, fellow students: You’re sipping artisanal hot chocolate from a hand-crafted mug, wrapped in a cashmere blanket, gazing at the stars through the panoramic dome of your luxury tent. Sound like a scene from a movie? Think again! Welcome to the world of glamping, where roughing it gets a first-class upgrade. Brace yourselves for Africa’s inaugural glamping extravaganza, set to transform Johannesburg into a mecca of outdoor opulence this October 28-29. But hold onto your designer hiking boots, because Student Living isn’t just reporting on this glam-tastic event – we’re inviting you to be part of the story! We’re on a mission to unearth the next generation of lifestyle scribes to capture the essence of this bougie bushcraft bonanza. So, whether you’re a wordsmith with wanderlust or an adventure junkie with a knack for narratives, keep your eyes peeled for a chance to join our tribe of trendsetters. Now, let’s dive into the nitty-gritty of this glittering outdoor gala, shall we?

Attention adventure-loving students! Get ready for Africa’s first-ever glamping expo, hitting Johannesburg on October 28-29. This two-day event is your golden ticket to exploring the hottest trends in outdoor luxury living.

But wait, there’s more! Student Living is on the hunt for aspiring reporters to cover this epic expo. Plus, we’re scouting for next year’s interns to spice up our lifestyle section with fresh takes on travel and outdoor adventures. Interested? Keep reading!

What’s the Buzz About?

Imagine camping, but make it bougie. That’s glamping for you, and it’s taking the outdoor scene by storm. The expo will showcase:

  • Top-notch glamping products and venues from across Africa
  • Eco-friendly pods that’ll make you feel like you’re living in the future
  • The latest South African glamping hotspots

Gugu Sithole, the brains behind the expo and CEO of Glamping Adventures, says: “This isn’t just your average trade show. We’re talking innovative, Insta-worthy glamping experiences that’ll blow your mind!”

Star-Studded Speaker Lineup

Get ready to be inspired by industry heavyweights:

  • Jillian Blackbeard, CEO of Africa’s Eden Tourism Association
  • Sisa Ntshona, destination marketing guru and chairman of ParkBookings.Com
  • Faith Meyer from Geodesic Forests
  • Siphelele Luthuli from Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife
  • Alex Lazarou, a futuristic architect (because who doesn’t want to know what camping will look like in 2050?)

These experts will dive into sustainable tourism, glamping regulations (yes, there are rules for fancy camping), and investment opportunities for you future moguls out there.

Where’s It All Going Down?

The Johannesburg Expo Centre (JEC) is hosting this glamping extravaganza. It’s a massive space that’s perfect for dreaming big about your next outdoor adventure.

Getting there:

  • From Pretoria: About 50 minutes via Ben Schoeman Freeway
  • From Alberton: Roughly 30 minutes via the N12 Southern Bypass

Why Glamping is the New Black

According to Getaway magazine, glamping is the cool kid on the camping block. It’s growing fast, and guess who’s driving the trend? That’s right – young people like you! Google searches for glamping sites are through the roof, showing a surge in interest for domestic tourism with a luxe twist.

Glamping takes the hassle out of traditional camping. No more struggling with tent poles or sleeping on lumpy ground. We’re talking comfy beds, stylish digs, and the great outdoors – all rolled into one Instagrammable package.
