Safari Toilets: Squatting, Bush Breaks, and Luxury Outposts
Do I have to pee in the bush?
No. Many outposts or gates in the National Parks in Kenya have toilets. It is very common for the rangers or drivers to stop and let everyone out for toilet breaks. So, you can go to the bathroom on Safari when on a game drive. The issue is only if you are desperate when you are out in the wild.
