How basic is she looking for? if she's not a shooter/just wants "happy snaps", she could just get phone with a reasonable camera that's somewhat water proof and be done with it.
Honestly, images from a lot of the newer phones are "good enough" for most people/they aren't going to get appreciably better images with a better camera unless they know how to use it well enough to use the bells and whistles when they need to.
(well, obviously the zoom would be a big plus if they're shooting critters, etc, but...)
And if they're enough of an enthusiast to already have a camera already, EB-1's suggestions make a lot of sense - unless you're doing crazy stuff like shooting video for hours at a time lots of in-camera- flash use, shooting tethered, etc most modern cameras now have amazing run times per battery.
Another option would be to just buy a USB charger for their extant camera - just for grins I looked for them on amazon - I was surprised how many there are:

Good luck and I hope your pal has a great trip.
Best,
