I am wondering what type of security there is for valuables--cameras, but more especially, cash--at Wilderness Camps. I had---perhaps stupidly--assumed that since they are so far out in the wilderness that there would be no problem with theft, since employees who steal would no longer be employed. Maybe that is not so, however. Do we need to think about getting a money belt?? Or do the camps have some type of a main safe that we could put money and passport/etc in??

Carol,
Security varies by camp, but risk is not a concern about theft by employees, but by monkeys. Most of the employees at the camps are from the same family so it is a very tight group.

I'm sure a monkey stole my car keys at Quito's while I was dozing off some 15 years ago, and took the car for a joy ride. I found them in the ignition the next morning.!!!
I need to go back to the BVI board and stay there ... huh? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
