Positive: Great Tour! Samantha was the best guide. Love the extra info she shared about the pepper trees and other tid bits. Loved her energy! Negative: Payment System!!! I made the payment on Thursday yet, they still had it as "pax to pay" and I really didn't appreciate the way they dealt with THEIR error.

A experiência com os avestruzes foi super diferenciada! Ouvimos vários fatos interessantes sobre as aves, tiramos fotos, alimentamos e vimos filhotes. Muito legal!

Tolle Farm mit herausragendem Guide

Jean war ein herausragender Guide ... Sehr schöne Farm...absolut empfehlenswert! Die Tiere haben sehr viel Platz und werden sehr gut behandelt.

Geweldige tour!

Ben was een geweldige gids en vertelde ons alles over de struisvogels. Het voeren van de dieren was geweldig en het knuffelen met de baby's van vier dagen oud ook.
