I actually don't mind the luxury camps. Perhaps I am fat, lazy and pampered?

At home the camps are always rough. Often just a swag under the sky (because I can't be bother to erect a tent). A shower is either a besa concrete block, a solar heated bag or a bucket. The toilet is a bush. Still make nice meals, often have cold drinks, fresh meat and luxuries such as butter and milk thanks to a portable engel fridge. That is one thing I do not like to go without. If hunting in hot weather a cold drink is a great thing. Used to use evaporation hessian waterbags for this.

Other 'camps' at home are dirty dusty windy cold dark station shearers quarters type accomodation. Sometimes you need to sweep the bird and rat shit away and thank God the 'kitchen' areas are usually a bit cleaner.

I quite like the permanent chalet style camps with stone, cement, wood or tiled floors, deep double beds and ensuites. I do not like hotel/motel type camps at all, eg all the rooms in a block with a corridor. Yuck. Tented camps in a great setting can be really nice and a walk to an outside toilet/shower doesn't hurt anyone. I don't have any preference for a tented camp like some, but I do like a thatched roof in preference to tiles or tin. A thatched ceiling in Africa is a work of art and even if above a tent makes it much cooler.

A nice dining area is pleasant and is easy to do, so why not?

A ring of camp chairs around an open fire is a good way to finish. That was something I missed at Gan Gan in the NT, we all finished just in the mozzie netted dining area. It lacks the ambiance of the campfire.

I feel IF I am PAYING for it anyway, why not?
