Walking Mobile Safari – accommodation and facilities
A mobile camp must be just that – mobile. Once you set off into the bush each morning, our team packs up the camp onto the back of a 5-ton truck and transports it to the next site. By the time you arrive at your next camp, everything is ready for you, including lunch.
Adventurous it may be, but a walking mobile safari is no hardship. The walk-in tents are large, measuring 3m x 3m, with zipped doors at each end. The beds are “safari cots” with a mattress, sheets and blankets; outside each tent is a wash stand.
Shared between the tents is a 60-litre bucket shower and two short-drop “bush” toilets with wooden seats. Meals are served under the shade of surrounding trees and drinks are kept cool by a small gas fridge. There is no ice – you can’t have everything!
Most of the meals are prepared over a fire and bread is baked in a hole in the ground. Despite this, the quality of the food is astoundingly good.
