Camping safaris are for those who enjoy the wilderness. Participants are expected to help with the camp chores. Meals will be prepared by an expert safari cook over wood fires. Those who join are from all walks of life and nationalities, usually between 16 and 60 years old. However, age is not a criterion - all that is needed is a sense of humour, a willingness to participate and a spirit of adventure.
