Do you need to be a happy camper? Chanel & Stevo, editors of travel blog @HowFarFromHome gave us the low down. Two thirty-somethings who still love group travel, even after having all the freedom to see the world non-stop as a couple, the pair are definitely up for pitching.
“We were required to camp 90% of the time (although the option to ‘upgrade’ was available at almost every spot), and this meant no restaurants (so a lot more hands-on involvement in the bush kitchen), wet tents in the rain (and some manual labor to put-up and pull-down your own sleeping cove almost everyday), and a constant ‘team player’ attitude (as daily routines and jobs for every member were part of the norm). I think it’s safe to say that if you’re a prince or princess who needs 85 pillows and silk sheets, this is probably not a tour for you”.
