We are now at Bundox Explorer Camp, an even smaller location with only 5 tents. The location is very beautiful, with a (shared) sun deck. We are the only guests, so we have the cook, manager, and 2 Bundox guides for the jeeps to ourselves. Because our own guide is home, it feels like a real holiday.
