Guestbook
My overall impression of the trip is very positive. Lodges were beautiful. I staid at three different places. They all were very enchanting, very clean and comfortable. Menus at diner were surprisingly varying. Hosts showed very considerate towards guests. I found the guides impressive for their understanding and knowledge of the local fauna and flora. They always demonstrate a lot of interest and care for the environment.
The guide, named Lucky, who took care of my group at the Moremi lodge, was particularly remarkable. It was my first trip in the "real" Africa (as opposed to North Africa) and I can say that I have not been disappointed. I only hope this country, (that seems fairly well organised from what I heard during my trip), will be able to grow AND preserve at the same time the beauty of their uncontaminated spaces.
