We stayed in luxury camp which was really nice, we had our own tent with toilet and shower. The food was good and we tried to go to places that weren’t overly crowded by other tours. Lastly the dessert was incredible, we went twice. Once during sunset and once during sunrise. Overall it was worth the money!”
