Factors Determining Tourists' Choice of Campsite Accommodation : Wildlife Protected Areas, A Case Study of L.Nakuru National Park Kenya

Accommodation in Wildlife Protected Areas is usually expensive. But campsites offer relatively affordable prices as compared to other forms of accommodation services.As a result, some Campsites are more preferred than others, yet, they are all in the same protected area. What determines the choice of one campsite and not the other? Is it the age of the tourist, gender, income, level of education or is it social factors? Other tourists argue that " My choice of campsite is not necessarily the same as my favorite choice of campsite". Others also say that " amongst physical resources, water appears to be an almost universally necessary ingredient for a high quality and successfully camping venture".What determines the choice as it appears,is quite a mixed bag and as varied as they come. Therefore, is it even possible to understand this choice behavior? That is what this study intended to achieve.
