C’était super de voir de très près les animaux que nous aurions vu de très loin lors d’une expédition dans la jungle

This was a major disappointment! First the road there was in horrible condition, suggest having 4 wheel drive and not carrying about your kidneys bouncing around.
I was the only person on the tour which was fine but I felt like they were trying to rush me through everything to be and to leave. It was sold as a ~2hr tour but it was over in 30 mins and that includes spending a few minutes looking at the gift store items. Just as I was selecting items to purchase, I was told the gift shop was closed. It would have been nice to know that before I spent time looking at things.
The actual room with the snakes and frogs was the major disappointment. The terrariums they were kept in had so much unnecessary art drawn on the outside that you could barely see through it to see the animals. When I tried to take pictures it was almost impossible to find a part of the glass that was clear to take the photo from. This coupled with the guide rushing through everything made this the worst tour of my trip so far. I would not recommend this tour to anyone. Save your money!
