At KUKU Kanvas, we know the demands of running a safari lodge or hunting camp. The bush is unforgiving, one day it’s scorching sun, the next it’s heavy rain, and through it all your tents need to hold strong. That’s why we designed the Insele tent: a practical, no-nonsense canvas tent built to work as hard as you do.
What makes the Insele different?
The Insele is manufactured from heavy-duty ripstop canvas, available in various GSM weights to suit your needs. The fabric is treated for all-weather conditions, offering durability against rain while still allowing breathability in the heat. Reinforced seams, strong zips, and thoughtful design details, such as proper roof angles for water run-off and well-placed ventilation panels mean you don’t have to worry about leaks or stuffy interiors.
The layout is simple, functional, and geared for hunters and guests alike: enough space for gear, solid protection from insects, and a structure that holds its ground even in tough conditions. It’s not about unnecessary frills – it’s about reliability, comfort, and longevity.
Why it matters for Lodges and Camps
Every lodge owner or outfitter knows the frustration of replacing or repairing poorly made tents. With a properly constructed canvas tent like the Insele, you can focus on your guests and your operations, rather than worrying about equipment failure. And if a repair is ever needed, our workshop in Hoedspruit is equipped to handle it quickly and professionally.
Durability means lower long-term costs and fewer interruptions to your season – two critical aspects that make a real difference in this industry.
More than just tents
While the Insele is one of our most popular models, it’s just one part of what we do. At KUKU Kanvas we manufacture and repair a wide range of canvas products:
- Safari and hunting tents in different styles and sizes
- Luxury glamping tents for lodges looking to add comfort with style
- Canvas repairs and custom builds, tailored to your requirements
- Canvas solutions like blinds, awnings, canopies, and even chair repairs
Our team understands that every camp is different, which is why we offer material choices, custom finishes, and personalised service. Lead times are short, and because we’re based in the Lowveld, we’re never far from the environments these products are actually used in.
Our commitment
At KUKU Kanvas, we take pride in being more than just suppliers. We’re problem-solvers for the hunting and safari industry. Whether you’re starting up a new tented camp, adding capacity to your lodge, or simply needing dependable repairs, we’re here to ensure your canvas works for you, season after season.
The bush doesn’t make life easy, but with the right tent, it doesn’t have to make it harder. The Insele is our answer to that challenge.
