I’m confused. Where is “elsewhere” for sleeping? The bathroom tent? I have not been to Africa, so I just don't get what you are talking about. Are the sleeping tents private or do large tents have many beds in one room? Are there dirt floors? Somehow I have trouble imagining the concept of luxury tents. I guess that means no air conditioning. Is there ever a cool time to go? I guess I shoild find all this out before I book a trip to the land where the wild things are.

Dixie Chick- none of us want to spoil your trip, so are avoiding answering one question. I will say this, if you go in March,
April, May and the rains (which should be over) were heavy or late the year you go, you may not be offered the optional experience. Suffice it to say it is an option and a fabulous experience if you get to do it- so I've been told.

As far as the camps/tents- go to the tour page and copy the names of the camps then Google them or follow my links below. These are not Boy Scout camps, you aren't roughing it, are private tents, regular beds, furniture, solid floors and most on raised on platforms, have en suite bathrooms with flush toilets, etc. it is "Glamping." Depending on time of year, one night at Kwai River Lodge lists for $1100 - $1700! Meghan and Harry stayed at a camp near one of the Tauck Camps. Remember our summer is their winter. It is cool at night (depending on month down to the 40's) and in the mornings until Aug/Sept/Oct when it can quite warm. See the weather in the "Before You Go" > "Preparing to Go"

Just finished watching this excellent new documentary on Netflix. Filmed in the Okavango Delta, it follows the lives of a female leopard and her two cubs for 2 1/2 years.
