Accommodation is split throughout this trip between simple hotels and hostels and camping. The variety of accommodation provided is great and often a totally unique experience, including bush camps with no facilities, yurts, and simple village pensions. Oasis uses roomy three-person tents but only for two people, specially made to meet the tougher conditions of an expedition trip.
