点评:I was able to experience Botswana on a 10-day, 9-night safari with Letaka Safaris in February, and it was incredible! I had stayed in a few lodges before this, but experiencing it from a tent was a whole different adventure. You feel a lot more immersed in the experience when at night you can hear the elephants grazing close by or lions communicating with each other. Also, being there in the rainy season made travel a different and more exhilarating experience; you just had to be prepared for it.
The team does a great job of taking care of everyone and everything. I marvel at their efficiency in setting up and taking down camp every 3 days, regardless of weather conditions, all with a smile on their face. The chef created delicious vegetarian meals and it's amazing what they are able to prepare with limited facilities. Mealtimes were always great for conversations about what we had seen and heard, but also getting to know and understand more about everyone around the table and the areas they called home.
It really felt like we had a lot of time at our wildlife sightings, and we had some spectacular and rare ones. Mbara was a fantastic guide and tracker. He taught us how to "read the newspaper" i.e. the tracks on the roads, then was able to follow them, find the animal, get us in the perfect spot, and tell us the story of what happened. He was interested and enthusiastic about the sightings and also keen on furthering his knowledge, with many guidebooks available for all of us to use.
The whole team was incredible, ready to handle whatever happened, professional but also very personable. I would absolutely recommend travelling with Letaka Safaris, it was a dream come true for me from start to finish.
翻译:2 月份,我参加了 Letaka Safaris 为期 10 天 9 夜的博茨瓦纳之旅,感觉棒极了!在此之前,我住过几家旅馆,但住在帐篷里体验完全是另一种体验。晚上,你可以听到大象在附近吃草,狮子在相互交流,这时你会感觉更加沉浸其中。此外,在雨季旅行让旅行成为一种不同且更令人兴奋的体验;你只需要做好准备。
团队非常出色地照顾每个人和每件事。无论天气如何,他们每 3 天都会搭起和拆除营地,而且总是面带微笑,这让我惊叹不已。厨师制作了美味的素食,在有限的设施下,他们能做出如此美味的食物,真是令人惊叹。用餐时间总是很适合谈论我们所见所闻,同时也让我们更多地了解餐桌上的每个人以及他们称之为家的地方。
我们真的觉得我们花了很多时间观赏野生动物,而且我们看到了一些壮观而罕见的野生动物。Mbara 是一位出色的导游和追踪者。他教我们如何“读报纸”,即道路上的足迹,然后能够跟随它们,找到动物,带我们到完美的地点,并告诉我们发生的事情。他对目击事件很感兴趣,也很热衷于进一步了解他的知识,有很多指南可供我们所有人使用。
整个团队都很棒,随时准备处理任何情况,专业而且非常亲切。我绝对会推荐与 Letaka Safaris 一起旅行,从头到尾,这对我来说都是梦想成真。
