Once you have decided on the type of accommodation, you may be presented with some options regarding comfort levels, especially when looking at lodges and mobile tented camps.
• RUSTIC
This is no-frills accommodation and usually in very remote areas. Large tents or reed/pole huts are the norm, as are pit toilets and bucket showers. Water is often heated over a fire and the furnishing is basic, but caters for all your needs.
