The trip was amazing over all. Not really under the control of the trip but we had two group members that were quite unpleasant to be around. One 9Rick0 talked all the time and even answered questions we directed at the guides. They suggested to us that we switch up what trucks we sat in but that never happened, so we were always stuck in his truck - ideally the CEOs would really enforce this recommendation.

WOW WOW WOW, this was the trip of a lifetime! I felt like I got an in-depth experience in each of the countries we visited. I didn’t expect to see so many animals so up-close and I also got to know a bit about some of the local culture and tribes in the areas we visited. Seeing two species of wild apes plus elephants and big cats and zebra and hippos and antelope and beautiful birds was astounding!
