Direct answer
Comfort varies sharply by tier. Budget camps offer shared facilities and basic tents (–0/night); mid-range tented camps have en-suite flush toilets, solar hot showers, and proper beds (0–0/night). Luxury lodges like Clouds Mountain Gorilla Lodge (0–0 pp/night) or Kenya's Mara camps offer plunge pools, gourmet dining, and butler service—far from roughing it, though expect occasional power rationing and limited Wi-Fi in remote Bwindi.
