    Relaxing cruise, great for birding

    We went on a cloudy day but even without a true sunset, it was so lovely. We were with about 8 other people's, making it a 10 person group not counting the crew. There were plenty of space to sit and room to move around. The crew was so attentive with our drinks so as soon as one drink was emptied, a new one would appear. They offered beers, wines, various well/rail drinks and soft drinks. Snack wise, it was just okay (some meatballs a spring roll, samosa, and devil egg) but I didn't care about that too much. No sightings are guaranteed but we had great luck with seeing lots of species of birds, even some uncommon/migratory species.

    What an experience! Just bobbing down the river with a glass of wine in hand was idyllic, but to combine that with bathing elephants, crocodiles, giraffes, zebras, hippos and a myriad of birds - fantastic! Our captain, Moses, was very charming, funny and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for making a dream come true!

    Sympa mais surexploitée

    La croisière s’est bien passée malheureusement nous n’avons pas vu le sunset à cause des nuages. Nous avons vu des hippo et des crocodiles, même une girafe de loin. Ce qui est dommage, c’est que la rivière est beaucoup trop exploitée par des gros bateaux partout
