      Good excursion in a shared boat. You can see hippo very close for some minutes (considering transfer and research on the river). Captain expel us more about the life of hippos and other animals (we also spotted a snake on a tree). We haven't seen crocodiles.

      Short boat trip in the company of a few people and a guide who explains everything there is in the estuary. I recommend this activity because you can really see the hippos up close and the sunset over the estuary is superb.
