Good experience with some things to consider

4.00The safari experience was really good. The spots we got to see were amazing. The main tour guide was quite experienced, and he was patient and made sure we got to make the most out of the experience. The guide on the boat ride was definitely our favorite, he was so full of facts and made that boat ride the best part of the safari. We wish our main tour guide was as proactive with the facts. The resort we overnighted in was better than our expectations. The food provided was not great, half the times was cold, and not great choices. We did have a setback with the bike rides, where we were charged double the amount shown on the booking. The tour guide said that the price on our booking wasn’t accurate, which felt like a tourist scam. That was definitely not appreciated, but overall a great experience.
