First, we went alone without any other volunteers.
Second, we stayed in the bedded tents instead of a banda.
The bedded tents consist of 2 twin beds, are on a platform with a veranda, and have close access to a hot shower (when the fire is lit) and proper sit down, flushing toilets (!!). The price is higher than the bandas but still quite cheap - 40,000 shillings--about $25. We also liked the tents because they have screens with flaps which can be rolled up so we get more light and more night sounds.
Finally, we tried a place for breakfast which was recommended by another volunteer. 
Instead of the restaurant by the lake we ate at the nearby Arcadia Cottages restaurant. For 10,000 shillings--about $6--we had a lovely full breakfast of fresh fruit, eggs of your choice, sausage, bacon, fried potatoes, fried tomato, beans, toast made with good bread and butter, and tea or coffee. This restaurant also has proper toilet facilities.

On previous trips we had not ventured up to Lookout Point. We did so this time and the view from the top was simply stunning.
