Cost is the most important determining factor when choosing your accommodation for your vacation. However, there are several considerations to keep in mind as well.
For example, are you travelling alone or with family, are you going to share your sleeping quarters and if so can you comfortably do so for x number of days? What is your personality are you willing to interact with strangers in a remote lodge setting or you want to be holed away in your hotel room as much as possible.
Are you travelling with children, is the houseboat child friendly?
Maybe one of your children is very sensitive and roughing it up on a camping trip is not ideal. 
It is best to sit down and think about what is important to you on this trip.

4. I have never gone camping can I still go?
Camping is a foreign concept for many people. It is a great opportunity to live the minimalist life for a few days to appreciate all that nature has to offer and all of the material pleasures we have with us daily. There are various levels of camping and it is possible to go camping with no prior experience. Our National Parks offer basic camping facilities and guests can bring in their tents and equipment while many accommodation providers have tents for hire. The last option is glamping; ’glamourous camping’ this is defined as ‘a form of outdoor holidaying that means you don’t need to bring your tent, sleeping bags, and paraphernalia, instead, you can turn up to ready-pitched accommodation that is already kitted out with all the essentials that you need’ – From www.coolcamping.com
In short, glamping is luxury camping. So there you are, no experience required. 


5. My kids are still young, is it a good idea to go on safari?
Depending on how old your child is many safari camps do allow children at the parent’s discretion. It is not advisable to go if you have toddlers who are very fidgety and love to explore as some camps are open and animals tend to walk in from time to time. Most safari lodges have a No children under 7 Policy while others go as high as twelve years. It is for their protection and your peace of mind as well.
