Nature at its best

All the places that we went to are beautiful and we are given enough time to explore. Our visit to the wildlife conservation was great but to windy conditions we were not able to walk around too much.

Loved it

Gary is awesome! We had such a good time on this tour (note that we were upgraded to a slightly longer tour, not the express). The wildlife center is definitely worth a visit (we honestly could have stayed longer!) and we learned so much more from Gary than we would have on our own. Gary also took us to some scenic spots for pictures and we did a very easy/short walk. It’s a perfect tour for all ages, including my parents in their late 60s.
