Ever wanted to go glamping on safari without having to fly to Africa? Check out the new vacation experience that just started taking reservations at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey.

What is 'Glamping'?

Well, according to the Oxford Dictionary, glamping is a noun, a thing you DO, defined as 'a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping'.

Moreover, Oxford brilliantly describes glamping as 'likely to satisfy any city slicker seeking a little refuge in nature—without foregoing any of life's luxuries'. Tru dat, Oxford, tru dat.

Here's what Six Flags Great Adventure President Brian Bacica has to say about the park's first resort:

“We are excited to welcome guests this spring to the Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa, where opulence meets the open savannah in the heart of New Jersey. Our team is planning every detail to create a luxury experience welcoming guests to enjoy the beauty and uniqueness of our resort. Whether you seek relaxation, a family adventure, or a romantic getaway, Savannah Sunset Resort and Spa promises to exceed your expectations."

Not to mention the resort sits right in the middle of Great Adventure's Wild Safari! I just want to sleep with a tiger, and if I can't sleep with a tiger, I don't want to go, lol.
