The difference in budget and luxury safari bedding There is a massive difference in the style, comfort, and type of bed that you will have in a budget camp vs a luxury camp.

The Hippo Lounge! So, the hippo lounge is a way down the path from where I was staying and the restaurant area. It's tucked away in the back, and it's lovely. When I was there, I had a cuppa tea before breakfast. I was woken up every morning at 6.30 am with a tea and biscuits.

What to wear on safari for women over 50. Chic, yet comfortable. Simple top from Zara and Cargo skirt made chic with locally sourced African Jewellery Why Safari fashion changes after 50 When I hit 50, I started to care more about comfort. The days that I could just "wing it," were gone. I no longer wanted to sleep on a friend's sofa. Now, I prefer my own room and my own space. I realised that when I hit 50, my priorities changed. I put my own comfort first. This is me on Saf
