Hi - does anyone have one of these? I have been out to our local camping shop this afternoon and was really impressed by this tent. Light, airy, spacious, it ticks all my boxes! Just wondered if anyone out there is lucky enough to already own one? Positives and negatives please!

We also like this tent but are also liking the look of the wolf lake. Have seen both up but still can't decide... like the extra room in the wolf lake as we need it big enough for 3 adults and 2 ten year olds who (unfortunately!) are only going to get bigger but zanzibar has smaller footprint .... decisions .. decisions! ( the £120 difference in price also a factor obviously!) ... any thoughts.. anyone? Thanks, Sarah x

Well we've taken the plunge and bought it anyway here for £615 including carpet.  Hope it lives up to our expectations, we go to Scotland in 2 weeks, it surely can't be as disastrous as our ex Sprayway.

When we've taken her out I will write a review.

Hope all goes well- will be interested to hear how you find it. Am waiting to hear at the moment whether I will be full time in work from September... if yes.. I have decided to take the plunge and buy a poly-cotton... zanzibar or wolf-lake in the shortlist !
