Confusing the
"tented
camp" with the
"campsite"
category
Different
definitions
"Campsite" accommodations are spartan while "Tented camps" have at least a moderate level of comfort - and some are luxurious.
Staying in a
basic campsite
for
the wrong reason
Undesirable
features
A typical basic campsite has many drawbacks: Small, cramped tents (some with little or no standing room). Uncomfortable cots and chairs. Cold showers. Foul outhouses.
The
only option for some
Such sacrifices make sense to those who truly cannot afford to spend a little more for better accommodations - it's better to go on a basic campsite safari than none at all.
Nonsensical
for others
Sadly, some people who can afford more choose a basic campsite tour out of a misguided romantic notion. They think it would be fun to "rough it". They end up being heavy-eyed and tired during their long daily game drives, which are the underlying reason they flew thousands of miles to go on a safari.
