A wide variety of activities. Good journeys although some were long but transport was reasonable. Both chef and driver were excellent. A special mention is reserved for the Chef who day after day produced good meals. Our guide was good and ran an effective trip which visited all the sites stated. It would have been helpful if maps could have been provide for the larger camp sites as it was vey disorientating and on 2 occasions I had to be rescued by other campers who had been provided with maps. Overall a very good trip

It was an excellent trip and our crew - Nash, Issa and Morioki - were amazing! Everything was planned out but left room for spontaneity, Issa's cooking was amazing and Morioki is not only a perfect driver but also a lot of fun.
