					<description><![CDATA[Thank you for sharing your Chitake adventure and your excitement came through loud and clear. I think this place would be out of my comfort zone for some of the reasons you have mentioned. And sitting there all day with high high hopes? Hmmmm, I think I would prefer the proper Mana Pools area. We should have visited there last year instead of Hwange, but we didn’t know at the time that we would gladly trade Hwange for another park. It didn’t light our fire. 
Now I’m curious how your safari with Steve went. Don’t wait another year for this write up, please. 
All the best, Katrin]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://stuckinlowgear.com/finally-we-make-it-to-mana-pools/#comment-900&quot;&gt;Steve&lt;/a&gt;.

Thanks for this confirmation Steve, I will update my note on the blog. 
While I certainly appreciate that $300 is a lot of money for a campsite, as far as we&#039;re concerned, the less facilities the better. It&#039;s true this can be an issue with high traffic sites, but it&#039;s the same reason we&#039;re willing to pay for &quot;nothing&quot; at a Special Campsite in the Serengeti that is also just a piece of Africa and nothing else. Many campsites we&#039;ve been to are ruined by bad facilities, or faciliteis located in terrible spots (long drops obstructing the view, that kind of thing), and campsites with great facilities no longer feel like you&#039;re in the bush. Just my .02c, of course at different times we want all the trimmings!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Chitake is now 300$ a night for a patch of dirt with a pit toilet.  No walk in discount.  From what I could understand, they also want 50$ pp for a “day picnic” even for people who have already paid park fees + campsite at Nyamepi.  This is as of May 2024]]></description>
