Off the Map Travel has launched a three-night itinerary designed for an off-the-grid immersion in Arctic Sweden. Guests can spend two nights on a floating lodge on Lake Degerselet, combined with one night in a land safari camp 10 minutes away. Just south of the Arctic Circle, the Floating Safari Camp and the Aurora Safari Camp are designed for relaxation in complete seclusion. Offered through September, the three-night program offers an opportunity to experience two “off-the-grid” sites. Beginning late August, guests can witness the return of the Northern Lights with long sunny days and dark nights.
While on the lake, up to six guests will stay in the Floating Safari Camp with two safari-style tents with double beds and one double room furnished in Scandi style with night tables and a seating area with views across the lake. The camp also includes toilet, shower facilities and a traditional wood-fired sauna.
Possible Floating Safari Camp activities include lake swimming, fishing, canoeing and paddle-boarding, with all sports equipment provided on site. Despite its Arctic location, lake temperatures reach 64 to 77 degrees Fahrenheit. Guests are encouraged to soak up the beauty and sounds of the lake and wilderness or relax in the sauna.
An Off the Map Travel exclusive, a sunset BBQ on a private island is a highlight of the program. Meals, including the sunset BBQ and an “under-the-stars” dinner on the Råne River, are provided by a private chef who also serves as the personal tour guide for the stay.
The four-day Floating Safari Camp itinerary includes all meals, two nights at the Floating Safari Camp and one night in the Aurora Safari Camp, boat and canoe transfers, and activities. Flights are not included. Additional activities such as forest cycling, foraging and a guided canoe trip can be arranged. A reduced-rate self-catering option is also possible for those who wish to cook their own meals.
