I don't mind luxury camps. Luxury as in a nice solid chalet with a cool high thatched roof, ensuite shower and toilet. Or a thatched roof over a nice tent is OK too. One thing to say about these thatched roofs is they make it so much cooler. A second tarp over can help but is no way as good.

Nice thatched dining area or sitting area, usually open walls on most sides is usual too. Never hunted in the cold months so don't know how comfortable they would be then, as when I has always been there the nights are cool to warm.

A camp overlooking a waterhole is great too. With BigFive in 2002 the camp we were at had a floodlit waterhole. It was nice to watch the kudu, waterbuck and impala come in to drink. Even more fun to watch when something was making the antelope nervous and jumpy. You could see a ripple in the animals as the predator moved along in the darkness beyond.

Some hunters prefer tented camps for the "true" safari experience. I don't, I will take luxury when I'm paying for it anyway. I'm not paying top dollar for a dirty tent stuck under a hot tree in the bush when the price is the same anyway.

It makes a nice difference from here in Australia where I usually just roll out a swag and then get bitten all night by ants and mosquitoes.
