I would join this tour again in a second. From start to finish, Lydia had every detail covered. She walked us through all we needed to do for preparation for the trip. She answered every question, including those we never thought to ask. By the time I met Lydia in person, it was like meeting a friend.
The tour itself was beyond my expectations and imagination. The wildlife was stunning, s o amazing that it was almost too easy to forget to look at the amazing landscape. Geff made the game drives such a memorable experience. He went above and beyond to give us opportunities to see wildlife up close (safely of course) and shared his vast knowledge.
The accommodations were very comfortable and relaxing. The staff at each place were delightful. Often no air conditioning (which i expected) but the cool rag I brought took care of that. Food choices were far more than I anticipated, particularly as I am vegetarian. Even as relaxing at dinner or looking from our balconies/windows at most the places, we saw wildlife.
A few suggestions for taking this tour (and it is worth every penny and more). Bring more shorts or convertible pants than pants. You are in the truck for the safari much of the time. You will want at least one pair of good closed toed walking shoes but rugged sandals were fine most of the time. I brought a cool rag which definitely helped, especially on the coast where it was so humid.
If this review does to state it enough, Lydia, Gefd, the safari, all of it helped create a trip of a lifetime.
