Camping
conjures up many different images for different people - memories of scout and
guide camps as a youth or perhaps family camping trips - but for the purposes
of the safaris offered by TATO members, there
Budget Camping
Budget
camping involves travelling with all your camp equipment, your guide and
possibly a cook in your vehicle with you. Once you get to camp everyone helps
cook and set up. This is economical and fun, but does mean that you spend
valuable time in the evening organizing your camp and food when you could be
out on game drives. These services typically use the less expensive shared or
public campsites, but exclusive camps’, or campsites with shower and toilet
facilities outside the parks, can also be booked and used. Beds are usually
mattresses on the floor of a small tent.
Fly Camping
Fly
camping involves setting up small, temporary camps for a night under the stars,
more often than not in a remote part of the bush. Fly camps are the ideal end
to a day’s walking safari or game drive, with many unexpected comforts - a
canvas washbasin with hot water, fresh towels, hurricane lamps and delicious
food cooked on the fire. At night, the sensation of sleeping in a light or just
under a mosquito net, as the moon shines down and the noises of the African
night begin, is the highlight of any safari holiday.
Luxury Camping
Imagine
feather pillows, soft towels, gin and tonic on the rocks and four course
gourmet meals in a candlelit dining tent as far from civilisation as you can
get. This is what luxury camping is all about. The tents are roomy and
comfortable, with a veranda in front and a bathroom with hot-water shower,
washbasin and toilet directly behind the tent. The luxury tents have a bedside
table, gas or solar lamps, chairs and a wardrobe for your clothing. A deep
freeze will supply your drinks with ice and keep specialty food items fresh.
Laundry is done daily. A large staff will ensure that your meals are gourmet
and all your needs in camp are met. Luxury camps are often situated so that you
can enjoy the same area for several days.
Lightweight Luxury Camping
Like
the luxury camps, tents will have metal or wood-frame beds, standing headroom,
a veranda and small en-suite toilets and hot showers. However, the tents will
be smaller and may be the traditional A’ shape with a central ridge pole. The
camps are fully staffed and meals will be three course affairs served by a
waiter in a lantern lit mess tent, or on a table under the stars. Pick-up
trucks, rather than lorries often move these camps, so they don’t have luxuries
such as a deep freeze. There will usually be wine, beer and soda on ice in
camp. Lightweight camps like this can be moved overnight and offer an amazing
degree of comfort while maintaining the flexibility of a lighter camp.
