Hi there
I have used roof tents and ground tents in north west and central africa.
both work and each has its advantages.
Ground tent is light and relatively cheap and can be located in a sheltered position out of the wind (strong wind can be almost unbearable in a roof tent!).
Roof tent is heavy, quite expensive, but allows you to sleep above the creepy crawlies and catch the breaze on a hot night.
The roof tent can be used in crowded campsites or on the side of the road when sometimes it is not convenient (or possible) to pitch a tent.
I suppose I would tend towards the roof tent, but if money or weight is limited I would have no hesitation using a good ground tent, even on an extended trip.
Hope this helps
cheers
John
