“

This was my first solo long-haul adventure and I felt privileged and grateful to be immersed in such a unique, fragile and important environment. The wildlife was abundant and spectacular - on land, air and sea. The boat accommodation was excellent and the guide and crew were always on hand, helpful and good-humoured.
