A hunt is all about the ambiance of it all. I want as wild a setting as I can get, I don't want to see any humans, dogs, cattle or goats, so I am absolutely fine with a fenced concession , it keeps them all out. Next comes the camp - please no bricks and formal roof, it must preferably be tents, but thatched dwellings are ok if not. A really nice fire pit, not a formal affair like a Bryanston restaurant, we are in the bush after all. Canvas and wood chairs, if there is plastic anywhere that is a killer. No cold white lights anywhere, even in the bathrooms. Paraffin lights even better. No blue anything, table cloths, bed covers, whatever. Yes cost is important, but the worst is to pay top dollar and not get the correct feel. I don't hunt for trophies or inches, I just want old old animals that have outsmarted everyone else so far and will do their damndest to outsmart me too. Food must be interesting, especially snacks around the fire. Lots of different game to try. Real coffee, no instant.
