How important is a first class Safari Camp? Do you care about insuite bathrooms etc? Would you rather have a more spartan, but comfortable camp for less money?

I have stayed in some pretty fancy camps. Some would rival a first class Hotel. I have also stayed in a fly camps with no servants etc the PH and a tracker. These were closer to drop camps in Alaska.

I think my favourite Camp was in Zambia in Mulabesi with John Knowles. It was a tent camp that was taken down at the end of the season and moved occasionally during the season. You had to walk to the long drop and the hot water was heated 5 gallons at a time. The company was outstanding and the hunting was extrodinary.

I dislike the South African and Farm operations custom of staying in, what amounts to, an expensive motel room. If on a Farm I would just as soon stay in the house with the inlaws.

What do you guys think?
