Bought this year in Go Outdoors for the bargain price of £189 so we also got the carpet (luxury and stopped tent floor getting too hot to walk on) footprint (good idea as no wet on bottom of tent and folded back easily in to bag!)and porch, which once it was up worked fine. We had a slight problem with it flapping about a bit but I think due to the slight slope we were on.
Found it easy to put up after one practice and using a bit of common sense and the instructions it went up quickly with two of us. I don't think I could do it on my own. There are loads of guy ropes and they are very bright which is handy. The 10 nights we spent in it in Norfolk were very hot and dry apart from the early hours of our first morning and then when we got up about 7am. It really rained and was windy and it was so loud on the tent but that's normal. The porch did fall down but only because I adjusted the guys at the other side (can't leave them alone me!)I put the storm pegs in and the porch went up perfectly. We are so pleased with this huge very secure tent. We had 2 adults and 3 kids in one bedroom, one adult and a massive changing/storage area in the other! The central area was a great play area. It went down very easily and back in the bag first time.
Would recommend.

Another one who bought this for £200 in the Go Outdoors sale! Only been away for one night in it due to cat at home needing daily medication, but very impressed. Took a while to put up, but thats simply because I haven't put a tent up in about 17 years, so took a while to get back into it! Tons of room, love all the pockets inside. Also bought footprint, carpet and porch. Would definitely recommend, and can't wait to go away again, hopefully for a bit longer next time!

Well what can I say we brought this tent just in time in the go outdoors sale (had a job getting everything we wanted but got there in the end) we brought the tent, the porch and the carpet, we did order the ground sheet but this was sold out twice when we tried so we have given up on that one.
We recently tried out our new tent not for from home (just in case) it took us about 1hr to put up the whole tent including the inners but I think this time would be reduced now as we know how it goes. We love the size as its huge, in fact we joke that our tent is bigger than our house!. Its a tall tent as well as I am 5'9 there was plenty of head height there are 4 large bedrooms , there are six of us 2 adults and 4 kids and we used one end solely for the kids and had two other bedrooms on the other side one for us and the wardrobe (there was plenty of room) and the other our toilet. The living area space was so large we had our picnic table and chairs and a high chair in and still the kids had room to play.
We brought the porch and are so glad we did as we used this part for our kitchen and food (and to take muddy shoes off before entering the tent) we love the fact that we could zip it up so no rain can get in( we had torrential rain for the second night and no leeks) as we had this problem with out last tent and porch. There are loads of pockets inside the tent which come in very useful. We also recommend the carpet, never had one before but boy does it make a difference especially on a cold September weekend! we are so proud of our tent now and are planning some longer trips further away which we not have considered in our last tent.

We bought this tent in June 2010, huge tent with loads of space, it has four bedrooms and we only need two so we use the other as a changing room, and storage. Etc. We had a bit of a struggle on the first attempt at putting up, as we were novice at camping but we now have it down to 40 minutes with just 2 adults putting it up. Great value for money though we paid £360.00 it was up for sale at £200.00 4 weeks later. We also bought the footprint and indoor carpet, which we have found makes the inside a little warmer underfoot. We have had lots of people ask us about this tent when we are camping have recommend buying it. Fits in two bags which aren't that heavy although not yet go the knack of getting the tent into the bag as easy. Tried to buy the porch this year but it seems to be sold out everywhere. Just got back from camping this weekend and it rained on the Friday night, we had no leaks and wasnt bothered by the wind.

We bought this tent in May 2010, huge tent with loads of space, it has four bedrooms and we only need three but the other one is excellent for storage of bags/boxes etc. Very easy to put up, on our first ever attempt it took 30 minutes. Great value for money if you buy when in a sale. Selling for around £200 now, though we paid £360. We have had lots of people ask us about this tent when we are camping and always recommend buying it. Fits in two bags which aren't that heavy and we are going to buy the porch to go with it next. No problems with wind and rain either. All in all, very pleased with it.

We bought this tent as we have 4 children and plan on more so thought it would be handy having the extra space. We have only used it once but loved being in there that much that our 3 day planned trip turned into 9 days. We had all sorts of weather to hot days to gale force wind which our tent withstood very well. We bought the footprint which is a must in bad weather and we also have the carpet and the porch. We were a bit disappointed with porch in bad weather as it stores water on the top and the wind blows through it really bad, so could do with an extra strap to help hold it down. My husband had to tighten it on several occasions. Apart from that it came in handy for cooking in when the weather was bad, and also used our porta toilet in there of a night for our children.

Just bought this tent from Go Outdoors in sale. Also got the carpet/footprint. Wanted the porch as well but none in stock - will be returning for that later! What a fantastic tent for the money. We have 2 small children and there is absolutely bags of space. It's also an absolute dream to erect - my hubbie and I are both small so one of the main criteria for us was that it would be simple to put up. First time it took us just 45 minutes to put up the tent bedrooms and to peg it (we needed a small step to get the bedroom tents up!). We both said afterwards either of us could have put the tent up single-handed if weather conditions were favourable. I agree it's a little dark inside and this will only be worse with the addition of the porch, another window would be great. But this is the only reason I've given the tent 9 and not 10.

Brought this tent in the go outdoors sale £200 and the carpet and footprint making it up to £245 all in. What a great tent, loads of space, 2 great massive sleeping pods each end, loads of wall hangers to put stuff in. Pitched up ok , it needs 2 people to pitch. The footprint is well worth £20, keeps the bottom of tent clean and no rips. Could do with a another window in side, was a bit dark. Had some very heavy wind and took it well, tightened the guys now and then. Am after a porch now

We love this tent its great! we have been away twice this year in and we have had a mixture of weather and the tent has stood all of this! we were in Brighton at the weekend and it was really windy on Sunday and everyone on the campsite was commenting how strong are tent was as all the other tents were blowing about. It doesn't take to long to put up and is very simple to do! we love this tent and cant wait to use it again.

Brought this from go outdoors for £200. It took myself and my husband about 1 hour to put up. The worst part was threading the poles through and then standing them all up, in the wind and rain this is not easy. Once the tent was up and pegged down, the bedding area was easy. This is a very spacious tent, the kids had there own play room for there lego. Lots of pockets. The fly nets are excellent our old tent did not have any (lots of wasps near our tent but could not get in). We had heavy rain and wind for a couple of hours. No leaks, comes with a repair kit in case. The only downside is when you open the doors and the water drips in the tent. We took old towels to mop up. Would recommend this tent especially at this price.

Hi Gear's Kalahari 10 is a spacious and stable tunnel-style tent that's packed with features and versatility for a stress-free camping experience.
It's pre-attached high-visibility guylines, slick pole sleeves, and welded polyethylene groundsheet make pitching the tent a quick and easy affair.
The living space is a generous 10m², and the bedrooms comfortably sleep five at each end of the tent, in a 2+3 inner arrangement with breathable inner walls.
The sewn-in groundsheet combined with the fire-retardant polyester flysheet (with 3000mm hydrostatic head) give you a fully sealed and ventilated internal environment, so you'll be completely protected from draughts and even the heaviest sustained downpours.
The large living space has two 'privacy' windows and hanging storage pockets to help keep it tidy and liveable.
The two doors can be propped and extended out to use as a canopy, using the steel porch poles, giving you shelter from rain or stretching the space out for more room if it's sunny.
Other features include water-repellent zips, an electrical cable access point, and multiple ventilation points along the roof line.
Easy to pitch, generously spaced and comfortable to live in, the Kalahari 10 is a great choice for families or groups who need convenience and quality wherever they're going.
