Four lavvus – the tents traditionally used by the Sami reindeer herders – make up the isolated Aurora Safari Camp in Swedish Lapland, on the bank of the charming Råne River. Inside every tent, a firewood heater keeps things toasty all year round (even when temperatures plummet to -37ºC outside), circled by Arctic-grade sleeping bags on single pallets. The camp is otherwise solar-powered, requiring little else for its unique Scandinavian sauna that floats on the river and lounge lavvu where local delicacies like smoked reindeer and char are served.
And, somehow, there’s little more you could wish for. Surrounded by a forest full of Arctic wildlife, the camp puts a deserving emphasis both on nature and photography. Guests gather round the campfire, with views across the river, to exchange tales at the end of each day, regaling invigorating moments of adventure and quiet discoveries of natural beauty. Seriously cool, and seriously extraordinary.
