Mark thank you for your reply. Please allow me to rephrase my comment about safari operators. It was not operators but operator, the one we chose whom made that comment.
It sounded odd that her rate should jump from $150 to $250 which is the rate for 2x1 at this lodge.
I'm not prone to quibble about $100 on a trip that will cost us $8000 or so door to door. Though I want to be treated fairly.
