    My memorable experience was during the ZIPLining, there was an option to do the Tarzan swing, I stepped out of my box and did it. Also, on the river cruise, being able to see as many animals that we did.

    I had a fantastic time! Went with a friend and we were happy to find that ALL our rooms had two big beds. Plenty of food choices so we did not have to worry about our allergies/food preferences. Our guide was knowledgeable about nature and spoke English well. I really felt safe with him. He cared about everyone. The scenery is breathtaking and the price was reasonable. Everyone should go!
