Review:  The Vango Samara is a bigger version of the Calisto, with a much larger porch and slightly wider body to the tent.  In addition, the flysheet on the Samara is made from 4000HH fabric, which is more waterproof than the 3000HH on the Calisto.  Also, the Samara comes with an internal curtain to split the sleeping area into two.

If you're looking for a family tent, with a little more luxury, lots of external space, and exceptional quality materials, then the Samara could definitely be the tent for you.

Best bits:  High quality flysheet, lots of headroom in the tent, luxury touches throughout
Worst bits:  More expensive than some of the other Vango group tents

RRP: £380
