| It is strongly
recommended that you reserve all your accommodation as far in advance as
possible, since availability is at a premium during peak seasons (Christmas,
New Year and Easter) and school holidays. Lodges and safari camps tend
to be set on private ranches and offer high standards of accommodation.
Accommodation can be “tented camps” which are luxurious insect-proof
tents, usually permanently pitched on concrete bases and often include
en suite bathrooms with flush toilets. These are very popular and give
the visitor the true experience of being close to nature without the inconvenience
and discomfort that can be associated with camping in the open. There are
a number of hotel chains that offer excellent accommodation in most of
the cities and major towns. The guesthouse and B&B (bed and breakfast)
industry has grown enormously over the last few years and the standard
of these establishments is usually very high. The same goes for campsites
in national parks, they have excellent facilities. Most towns also have
very good municipal campsites. Booking is not essential but is advisable.
Note that rates for most accommodation are nearly double in peak season. |
