We were really disappointed with this trip.
Whilst the locations were amazing, and I really do mean that, the guide himself felt to impress upon us his anti-vax conspiracy theories throughout the trip.
To make matters worse, when we wanted to stop for breaks, he was clearly taking us to places where he made commission. We had the ‘hard sell’ approach throughout, which is really off-putting.
At one point, we were asked to go on safari and we were excited about it, until we then found out we had to pay $200 equivalent (each) once we were sat in the jeep.
This was never told to us, and once we refused (we couldn’t afford that) and got out, we had endless guilt trips made to us on the journey about how it would have affected him. Had we known there was an extra change (we asked beforehand but he shrugged it off) then we would have made an informed choice, but this was just hard sell.
We actually got annoyed with him after this and he spent the time apologising afterwards (but still laying on the guilt) which then felt really uncomfortable.
Terrible. Go to the place, it’s stunning, just don’t go with this organisation!
