We arrived and were the only couple for the tour which was a real bonus. Willy the guide was amazing and so knowledgable on all the wildlife. He was so friendly and adapted to the tour to suit us. When we said we wanted to see flamingoes he went above and beyond to find them and even let us use his fantastic camera to get some brilliant shots. He was a great guide and we had a wonderful trip! Definitely recommend!
