Customer reviews & ratings
Amazing trip, would highly recommend. An opportunity to get so close to nature and to see some amazing animals up close. Amazing 4 day trip. The guide I had was marco and stayed at pachira lodge. It was a phenomenal place and the room was so comfortable. But the best thing about it was how close to nature you were in the hotel. The added tours and included tours were great and marco was a fantastic guide and was so friendly and accommodating. He was so knowledgeable. The food included was really good and everything was so well organised. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.
