RE: Hotel or Lodge?
After you pay all this money to be one with nature. . .I would sleep on the trail if the guide can hang.
I think something gets lost if you sleep in a hotel watch HBO and drink cocktails the night before, you get up in the morning, walk the buffet line then have the limo bring you out to the feild.
It is not just about walking up taking a shot and leaving. Get out there enjoy the whole thing.
