During the trip we used mokoros (wooden canoes), doing walks in the area and most time we travelled using open jeeps. The drivers/guides were very skilled. We saw a lot of animals, including the big five, and by camping in the free we got more opportunities to see animals. Evenings/mornings were fantastic.
Temperature around 35-40 degrees Celsius in the days, around 20 in the nights. Only some small rains.
The trip was organized by Äventyrsresor, using Sunway Safaris.
