Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: I decided to stay in a tent - as to "experience the safari and camping", without really compromising on the comfort I enjoyed my stay - the tent had everything I needed and the bathrooms and showers were always clean The lady at the reception was amazing - as I only had a short stay, she booked all the activities for me and made sure I did and saw as much as possible
Negative: It was not really a problem, but wifi was not reaching the tents. Now I think of it actually as a good point - otherwise people could use Internet oit loud in the tent and would bother other people rest
