The Outhouse

In the travel guide, the bush camp is considered a luxury - and nature camp. Here, you pay $100 full board per person per night. Here, too, we find tents with roofs on stilts by the water. So far, so beautiful. However, just like everywhere else, there is hardly any light - it is not even enough to find black socks in a suitcase. The bathroom is at the back of the tent and without a roof. It is separated from the outside world with bamboo mats. Loose round stones on the floor so that the water can drain away and you can properly break your feet. A rusted shower attached to a tree protrudes into the ensemble. At the end of it is a large water tank. A small water tank hangs on a faucet and a mini washbasin. The highlight is the toilet - it is an outhouse. Without water, for those who no longer know such things. When finished, you can throw in some wooden shavings. There is a large bucket next to it. Our faces speak volumes.

First, we go on a safari and encounter a very large herd of elephants. There is also a mud hole where so many hippos are rolling around that you could walk to the other side with dry feet if they weren't the most dangerous animals in the world.

Afterwards, we take a boat ride on the lake. Here, it seems that all the animals gather. Apparently, there is also a large-scale mortality - the shore of Lake Edward is lined with a large number of skeletons.

We are looking forward to the second night with the luxury toilet. In the morning, we have to get up early and use the central toilet in the breakfast room. We haven't used it so far because we know what public toilets can look like and we have had enough of them. We are greeted by a clean, tiled Central European water closet.

And the moral of the story?

If you form an opinion without really examining both sides, you will have to use the outhouse in the end :)
