Yes, and no. Many campsites we stay at do have open-air wooden box outhouses called a thunderbox or keyboard.

In many cases there will be no thunderbox. Our guides have a system in place which will be thoroughly explained and set up by guides at each campsite. Depending on the landscape and location there systems will be slightly different.

Can I bring Alcohol on the trip?

If you would like to bring alcoholic beverages to enjoy with dinner or around the campfire it is permitted. No glass containers allowed.

How much do I tip my guide?

Can I bring Alcohol on the trip?

It can be difficult to figure out how much of a gratuity is appropriate for your guides. This is a very common question, and therefore MHO Adventures has worked with industry partners to create a guideline. Any form of gratuity is greatly appreciated and by no means expected.
