Okay… what part of “I want something different” is to hard to understand?
In my emails to various safari operators, I explained that I would be staying at the Zulu Nyala Heritage Lodge for my week in South Africa. And that I wanted something different for the rest of my time in Africa. I even suggested (my exact words): “I’d rather a tent-style experience than a “ho hum, this is another hotel, except it’s in Africa” experience.”
So why are the majority of folks who are responding to my inquiry suggesting that I should just love to stay in places that are very much like hotels, except they’re in the bush somewhere? I mean, I know I may be making a terrible blunder (my idea of roughing it is a Howard Johnson’s instead of a Hyatt Regency), but it seems to me that this is one time in my life when sleeping in a tent in an unfenced compound is exactly what I want to do…
Sigh… maybe somebody will respond with something closer to what I’m looking for…
