Hi there, everyone! I need to try to understand community camps. I know they were set up for the benefit (supposedly) of the local people, but who organised them and who trained the staff? The only one I have visited so far is Aba Haub, and that was a couple of years ago. (Bradt tells me this was set up by Save the Rhino Trust so does the money go to them)? Then the receptionist was asleep on her desk, there were no doors on the toilets and shower curtains were non-existent. The only staff with a little life in them were the bar staff (
) and the poor little chap who stoked the donkey! According to reviews on Trip Advisor nothing has changed. It is in the most beautiful setting and it is such a shame that the facilities have been left to rot. If some guidance was given this could be a little gem. We shall be experiencing other community camps in March next year and it will be interesting to see how they compare. Does the money really go back into the community? Or is this yet another sign of corruption?
