Really cool and good value

Overall a really cool and great value trip. Hassan, our guide was super friendly and awesome to hang out with throughout the trip. The accom in the standard camp is pretty basic but considering how cheap it is, you can’t really complain. The food along the way is lovely. The vibe in the camp was nice.
