点评:I highly recommend using Usambara Eco Tours to organise your hike. Ally was very responsive to my questions and it was super easy to book. I paid a 50per cent deposit a week before trip. He organised everything from my guide greeting me at the bus stop to accommodation and all meals. My wonderful guide Rashidi was excellent. He is from Lushoto and is very knowledgable about the area. We saw so many chameleons and monkeys on our first day and he made a delicious picnic lunch. He gave a clear brief at the start of each day and was great at making sure I was paying attention when I needed too (a few narrow paths with drops either side!). I loved staying at Bushbaby Homestay- a really special place and we had a home cooked meal by the fire. We had a great second day walking through villages and going to see the community pottery women’s group. Second night was at Mambo Viewpoint Eco lodge- stunning views and a really amazing place set up by a Dutch couple. On my third day, Joseph was my guide and was so knowledgeable about medicinal plants and how traditional healers use them. I enjoyed walking through the rainforest to the waterfall and I really want to come back and learn more about how the different plants are used.
Thank you to Ally, Rashidi and Jospeh for making this trip so memorable.
翻译:我强烈推荐使用 Usambara Eco Tours 来安排你的徒步旅行。Ally 对我的问题回复非常及时,预订也非常简单。我在旅行前一周支付了 50% 的定金。他安排好了一切,从导游在公交车站迎接我,到住宿和餐饮。我的导游 Rashidi 非常棒。他来自卢绍托 (Lushoto),对当地非常了解。第一天我们看到了很多变色龙和猴子,他还准备了一顿美味的野餐。每天开始前他都会进行清晰的讲解,并且非常乐意确保我在需要的时候集中注意力(比如几条两边都有落差的小路!)。我很喜欢 Bushbaby Homestay 的住宿——一个非常特别的地方,我们在篝火旁享用了家常菜。第二天我们度过了愉快的一天,穿过村庄,参观了社区的陶艺妇女小组。第二晚我们住在 Mambo Viewpoint Eco Lodge——景色迷人,由一对荷兰夫妇经营,真是一个非常棒的地方。第三天,Joseph担任我的导游,他对药用植物以及传统治疗师如何使用它们非常了解。我很享受穿过雨林到瀑布的旅程,我真的很想再回来,进一步了解不同植物的用途。
感谢Ally、Rashidi和Jospeh,让这次旅行如此难忘。
