- comments on wilderness safaris and sanctuary accommodations? (AC and indoor showers for example)
- comparisons between wilderness safaris, &beyond, orient express, sanctuary?
- thoughts on private concessions? (xxx km2) or do the locations just not compare to mombo for example?
- i see chiefs is near mombo, so a backup. what about mombo vs little mombo? theyre fairly close.
http://www.africatravelresource.com/botswana-safari/ has maps
wilderness safaris and http://www.rhinoafrica.com/ have labeled satellite maps
im kind of curious re wilderness safaris & http://www.greatplainsconservation.com/ relationship
i need to read the wilderness safaris annual report i downloaded..

molori safari isnt one of their private / exclusive-use only
entry rate is normal, top accommodation is indeed somewhat more

royal malewane's new africa house
perhaps also cliff lodge at ulusaba for example
and there are other private villas

The Gettys' home, Zuka house, is only available to Africa Foundation donors.

only talking about over the top (OTT) accommodations
(most camps/lodges dont offer a range of accommodations, let alone with huge price differences)
