We did a walking safari with a 3-night stay. The camp was simple but had anything needed a kitchen, warm shower, toilets, a big tent for breakfast and lunch and a fireplace where we had dinner every night.
Most important to say is, that it was very clean at all times. Our guides were super nice and very well educated, so we learnt a lot about the bush and saw many different animals and plants! - Fiktrizius Mistilger
