About this property

Tent Ocotillo – Romantic Safari Tent on a Private Desert Ranch

Stillness is the new luxury.

Tucked away on a private ranch in the Sonoran Desert, surrounded by saguaros and open land, Tent Ocotillo is a place to slow down and simply be. Our safari tents were handcrafted in South Africa and furnished with European attention to detail: natural materials, fine linens, a cozy seating area and your own private bathroom.

Through the wide glass front you watch the desert wake up at sunrise. Evenings belong to the sunset on your private deck, nights to one of the darkest, most star-filled skies in Arizona. Coyotes, deer, owls, rabbits and javelinas are your quiet neighbors.

YOUR TENT
- King-size bed with high-quality linens
- Private bathroom with shower and toilet
- Private deck with desert views
- Pellet stove for cool nights, swamp cooler for warm days
- 100% off-grid and solar-powered
- Continental breakfast included, delivered to your tent

The tents stand within sight of one another, spaced apart and set at different elevations for privacy. On weekends, we welcome tent guests for a minimum of two nights.

DESERT EXPERIENCES (on request)
- Horseback riding on the ranch
- Night scorpion walk with blacklight
- Archery
- Desert apéro with charcuterie at sunset
- Guided stargazing

GETTING HERE
We are about 30 minutes from Saguaro National Park West, at the end of a 4–5 mile scenic dirt road. An SUV or truck is recommended, and we suggest arriving in daylight. Detailed directions follow after booking. Just one thing in advance: if you feel lost, you`re exactly right.

We live on the ranch and are always close by if you need anything, while giving you all the privacy you came for.
