Four hundred and eighteen palms tent hotel
"You don't have to explain it to me, I'm just asking, you're very careful! Sorry for looking through your personal belongings, I'll give it back to you now. Pan smiled and handed the phone to Hong Tao, with an expression as if he had seen Hong Tao through. Explain a fart! It's not all you asked me! I'm sorry! If you had this realization, you shouldn't have read it! Hong Tao took the phone back into his pocket, and then cursed a few words in his heart. I am not used to this kind of conversation that does not allow people to explain clearly when asking questions, because the direction of speech cannot be controlled on one's side, and it is very passive.
The hot air balloon flew in the crater for nearly 2 hours before it reached its destination. When the camp mentioned by the Dutch pee came into view, Hong Tao could only curse secretly in his heart: It's too corrupt!
Compared with this camp, whether it is in terms of camp area, the scale of the buildings or the grade of building materials, Simba Camp can only be regarded as a coal shed! What surprised Hong Tao even more was that there was an artificial swimming pool in a corner of the camp, and the water in it was crystal clear, and several people were swimming in it at this time.
"Hong Tao, see it, this is the real enjoyment, damn, these foreigners can really figure out, there is still a swimming pool in the wilderness where there is no village and no store!" The hot air balloon was still slowly descending, and the fat boss was already lying on the edge of the hanging basket and looking at the camp, focusing on the pool of course, because there was a possible target for him.
"It's the most luxurious camp in Africa, isn't it?" Hong Tao also felt that it was a bit too extravagant to have such a camp in a grassland, and turned his head to ask Holland to pee.
"It's nothing more than luxury. There is still a long way to go to the most luxurious, and you should go to the camp in South Africa, where President Roosevelt once stayed. "Before the pee spoke. Pan picked up the conversation.
"Do we have any plans to go to that camp?" Hong Tao was intrigued by Pan's words again.
"If you're hunting, there's no need to go there! It has only received many European and American celebrities, but it is not even in the top ten in terms of the quantity and quality of prey. "Holland pee doesn't seem to be too cold to that camp.
"Pan, have you been there?" Hong Tao didn't believe the words of Dutch peeing, he was an employee of Naison's company, no matter what the purpose, he couldn't add costs to the company.
"Hmm. Yeron was right, if you want to really hunt, you should not go there. The people who go there are dressed in dresses, like the one you went to the restaurant yesterday, and you probably didn't even eat dinner, which is technically a social occasion rather than a hunting ground. "Pan has obviously been.
"You saw me last night?" Hong Tao doesn't remember ever seeing Pan in the restaurant. Because of a figure like Pan, if he saw it, he would definitely remember it.
"Of course. There's still a trail of blood on your hunting shorts, and you eat like a hyena on the prairie, what do you say? Pan's question made Ye Rong very difficult, to be honest, he had to expect Hong Tao to take him to his sister, and he didn't quite meet his standards of life if he talked nonsense, so he could only grin and smirk.
The gondola finally hit the ground, a small plaza in the middle of the camp, where several black employees had grabbed the ropes that were hanging down. Working on hot air balloon control is smooth. Because the area of the square is not large enough, Hong Tao and his four hot air balloons cannot land at the same time. Only passengers and luggage can be loaded and unloaded on a rotational basis.
Hong Tao and the fat boss, who landed first, were unwilling to sunbathe in the square, so they had to follow Pan into the largest tent first. Speaking of this kind of tent, it is actually far from the tent we imagined, and its name should be called tent house or tent hotel.
During the whole course of the safari, accommodation can be roughly divided into three grades: hotel, unenclosed hotel (Lodge), and tent hotel (camp).
The hotel is the ordinary hotel we usually come into contact with, and it is generally near the town or in tourist attractions, such as the crater reserve hotel where Hong Tao and the others stayed yesterday;
An unenclosed hotel is a bit like a farmhouse, built closer to a reserve or hunting area, with a few small houses with a more African twist, and also offers the basic services of most hotels. Since it is further into the wilderness grassland, the environment is wilder;
Tent hotels are accommodation similar to Simba's Camp or the current camp, which is mostly built deep in a protected area or hunting area, in a completely wild environment. Most of these hotels do not have a fixed building and use a large tent as a house for travelers.
Of course, tents and tents are not the same, like the Simba camp kind of tent is almost the same as the house, but a little simple, and now the tent here is basically the same as the house, like Simmons bed, thick carpet, toilet, bathing facilities and other facilities that should be available, it is difficult for people to feel that they are living in a tent when they stay inside, the only difference is that there are fewer electrical appliances, because most of these tent hotels rely on their own generators to generate electricity, and it is impossible to drive too many household appliances.
Among these three types of hotels, ordinary hotels are relatively cheapest, and the price depends on the local consumption level; Unenclosed hotels are slightly more expensive, costing around $200 per room per day; Tent hotels are the most expensive, like the camp that Hong Tao and they are currently planning to stay in, with a price of $700 per room per night, which was almost more than 6,000 yuan in 2005.
But this is not the most expensive, like the Nafei luxury camps that are dedicated to hosting international celebrities, the price may be thousands or thousands of dollars, and you don't have to be too expensive, you may not be able to book a room if you have money.
Of course, there is also one of the cheapest ways to stay, and that is real camping. That is, you have to carry all the daily necessities, find a suitable place to camp wherever you go, and then the hunting company will help you replenish your supplies and take care of your safety.
However, this method is estimated to only be suitable for a very small number of professionals with strong physical fitness and rigorous training in wilderness survival. Ordinary tourists may be okay to stay for one night, but if you stay for a few nights in a row, not to mention whether the pervasive insects will toss you to death, and you will not be able to take a serious bath for several days, and you will not be able to eat delicious meals, which will drive most tourists crazy. Not to mention that you have to watch out for wild animals at night, crocodile-infested waters to get water, and at the end of the day, you have to carry that big backpack with a tent on your back.
The EOC camp has a total of 11 double tents, as well as 2 suites for visitors to choose from. However, Hong Tao they have no choice, because they suddenly came 2 groups of European tourists 2 days ago, so at present, only the 5 rooms booked by Nathan Company for Hong Tao in advance are still empty, and the other rooms are already full, and even the two large suites have been rented out.
In fact, the 4 double rooms are still enough for Hong Tao and them to live, a total of 4 of them, plus 3 hunting guides, the original plan was that Hong Tao, Fat Boss, and Boss Liu each had one room, and the three hunting guides and Wei Han squeezed two rooms.
Because Europeans and Americans generally don't like to live with others when they travel abroad, even if they are companions, they like to live in a room by themselves, but the hunting guide belongs to the staff, and Wei Han belongs to the rubbing play that did not pay the full amount, in order to save costs, so this is what the company considered when it was originally designed.
However, Ji Lu couldn't catch up with the changes, and now Hong Tao and their team have an extra Ms. Pan, obviously these 5 rooms are not easy to allocate. The guides, who already have two people in one room, don't think about their rooms. Boss Liu, Fat Boss and Hong Tao are all guests of Naison's company, as long as they don't take the initiative themselves, no one has the right to force them to live with others.
In fact, the fat boss would like to live with others, of course, this other person can only be Pan, and he resolutely does not consider rough old men like Boss Liu, Hong Tao, and Wei Han. But he just thought so, and he didn't dare to say it when he was killed, not only could he not say it, but he had to pretend to be generous and considerate. (To be continued......)
