The Vango Savannah 600XL and Savannah Air 600XL are both six-person family tent packages with front awnings, Midnight Bedrooms and included groundsheet protection. The Air model explicitly uses an inflatable AirBeam structure with a supplied pump. The standard Savannah 600XL listing highlights Dynamic Weave 100 fabric, a sewn-in groundsheet, ventilation features and a height of over two metres.
At World of Camping's check on 21 October 2026, the standard Savannah 600XL was £575 and available to buy. The Savannah Air 600XL was £899 and unavailable to buy. That was a £324 price difference. Prices and availability can change.
This guide compares the Vango Savannah 600XL Tent Package with footprint and Vango Savannah Air 600XL Tent Package. It does not cover the smaller four-person Savannah models.

Which Savannah 600XL package should you choose?
Start with the standard Savannah 600XL if its lower checked price and listed features meet your needs. Consider the Savannah Air 600XL if an inflatable AirBeam structure is a priority and its bedroom layout suits your family. Do not assume the Air model is automatically larger, lighter or faster to pitch without checking comparable measurements and pitching information.
The £324 difference at our check is worth weighing against your preferred setup method and budget for the rest of your equipment. It is not proof that either tent offers better value for every camper. Availability also matters if you have a trip approaching.
Vango Savannah 600XL: key listed features
The standard Savannah 600XL is rated for six people and has an integrated awning for additional covered space. Its listing describes Dynamic Weave 100 fabric and an included groundsheet protector.
The sewn-in groundsheet, mesh doors and AirZone panels are practical features to compare when organising family campsite life. Diamond Clear windows admit daylight to the living area, with roll-away toggled curtains for privacy.
The listing states a height of over two metres. That does not guarantee uniform standing room throughout the tent. Check the floor plan and headroom where you expect to stand, sit and move around.
The description used for this guide does not specify the pole material or an exact pitching time. Confirm the standard package's complete pitching instructions before ordering rather than borrowing specifications from another Savannah model.
Vango Savannah Air 600XL: key listed features
The Savannah Air 600XL is a six-person inflatable tent using Vango's AirBeam structure. Its listing describes a supplied pump, three Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms, a large double-section living area and a pre-attached front awning.
An additional groundsheet protector is included. The living area and awning are described as useful for socialising and storing kit, but compare the actual floor plan with the standard model before deciding how your furniture and bags will fit.
The Air listing describes quick pitching without providing an exact time in the description checked. Inflation is only part of setup: follow the manufacturer's instructions for pegging, guylines, pressure and adjustments.
Bedrooms and living space: capacity is not the whole story
Both packages are rated for six people. A six-person rating does not guarantee spare space around large airbeds, bags or bedside equipment. Measure your sleeping mats or beds and compare them with the bedroom dimensions.
The Air model explicitly lists three Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms. The standard model's description does not establish an identical bedroom arrangement, so check the layout rather than assuming the two tents match.
Midnight Bedrooms use darkened sleeping-area fabric. Treat this as a reduced-light feature, not a guarantee of complete blackout or uninterrupted sleep.
When planning living space, allow clear routes to exits and space for wet-weather organisation. An awning is useful covered space, but should not be counted as an extra rated sleeping berth or assumed to be fully enclosed.
Practical checks for UK family camping
For campsites in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, check the overall tent dimensions against the pitch allowance before booking. Include room for guylines and access, not just the main tent body.
Compare packed size and weight with the space available in your car after loading bedding, chairs and cooking equipment. Neither a lower price nor an inflatable structure establishes which package is easier for your family to transport.
Practise pitching before your first trip and allow extra time while learning the setup. Check the forecast and follow the manufacturer's instructions. Do not assume either model is suitable for storms or extreme conditions.
Never cook or use a barbecue inside the tent or awning. Keep entrances clear and follow the campsite's fire-safety rules.
Frequently asked questions

Both featured packages are rated for six people. Compare your bedding with each tent's bedroom floor plan before deciding whether it suits your group.
Is the Savannah Air 600XL inflatable?
Yes. The Savannah Air 600XL uses Vango AirBeam technology and its listing describes a supplied pump.
What is the main buying difference?
The Air package explicitly offers inflatable AirBeam pitching and three Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms. The standard package had the lower checked price and lists features including Dynamic Weave 100 fabric, a sewn-in groundsheet and AirZone panels. Check both complete layouts and specifications before choosing.

Yes. Both featured listings describe an included footprint or groundsheet protector. A separate protector is not the same as the tent's own groundsheet. Confirm current package contents before ordering.

The Air listing describes three Queen Size Midnight Bedrooms. The standard listing mentions the Midnight Bedroom feature but does not confirm an identical layout. Check individual floor plans and bedroom measurements.
Is the Air version faster to pitch?
The Air model is described as quick to pitch, but this guide does not have comparable exact pitching times for both packages. Do not assume a measured time advantage. Allow time for inflation or assembly, pegging and guyline adjustment.
