点评:Our experience with the chimpanzee trekking was extremely disappointing, particularly because of the lack of communication, organization and willingness to help.
The most frustrating part is that we had actually tried to avoid exactly this kind of situation. The day before the trekking, we visited the same park for other activities. Four different people from our group asked the staff **more than four times** exactly where and at what time we needed to go the following morning for the chimpanzee trekking. We repeatedly asked for clear instructions, but we never received a clear or consistent answer about the exact entrance we should use.
For the other activities we had done that day, we paid **on arrival**. We were also not asked to prepay for the chimpanzee trekking or given any clear instructions that a different procedure applied.
So, based on the information we had received, we arrived at the designated entrance at 5:00 a.m., exactly as instructed. The problem was that **the entire park was completely closed**. There was nobody there to receive us, nobody to guide us, and apparently not even the security staff had arrived at that time. We were simply left standing outside in the early morning with no information and no way of knowing what was happening.
After approximately two hours, at around 7:00 a.m., staff finally appeared. Instead of helping us resolve the situation, we were told that we had come to the wrong entrance and that we would need to drive another **three hours** to reach a different entrance if we still wanted to do the trekking.
We were also asked to pay an **extremely expensive additional amount**, which we found completely unreasonable, especially considering that the problem had resulted from the lack of clear information provided to us.
The way the staff handled the situation was just as disappointing. There was very poor communication between the different reception desks, and rather than coordinating among themselves and finding a solution, they were putting **us, the tourists, in the position of making phone calls, explaining the situation repeatedly and trying to coordinate between the different staff members ourselves**.
We had done everything we could to get the correct information in advance. We had asked repeatedly, we arrived at the requested time, and we went to the entrance we understood we had been instructed to use. Yet we lost two hours waiting, were then told we were at the wrong location, were expected to travel another three hours, and were asked to pay an additional fee that was extraordinarily expensive.
This was not simply an unfortunate misunderstanding. It was a serious failure of communication and organization, and the way the situation was handled made the experience even worse.
The chimpanzee trekking itself may be a wonderful experience, but based on our experience, we **cannot recommend the organization of this activity**. If you are planning to visit, make sure you obtain the exact entrance, meeting point, time and full price in writing beforehand, because the information provided by the staff was neither clear nor consistent.
翻译:我们的黑猩猩追踪之旅极其令人失望,主要原因在于缺乏沟通、组织不力以及无人愿意提供帮助。
最让人沮丧的是,我们其实曾试图避免这种状况的发生。在进行追踪活动的前一天,我们还到同一个公园进行了其他活动。我们团队中有四个人多次向工作人员询问:第二天早上进行黑猩猩追踪活动时,我们究竟该在哪里、几点钟集合。我们一再索要明确的指示,但始终没有得到关于应该使用哪个入口的清晰且一致的答复。
至于当天进行的其他活动,我们都是在抵达时直接付款的。我们也没有被要求预先支付黑猩猩追踪旅行的费用,也没有收到任何关于另有不同流程的说明。
因此,根据我们收到的信息,我们严格按照指示于凌晨5点到达了指定的入口处。但问题是,**整个公园完全封闭着**。没有人来接待我们,也没有人给我们引导,显然连安保人员那时也还没到。清晨时分,我们只能站在外面,既得不到任何信息,也搞不清楚到底发生了什么。
大约两小时后,也就是早上7点左右,工作人员终于出现了。但他们并没有帮助我们解决问题,反而告诉我们走错入口了;如果我们仍想进行徒步旅行,就必须再开车**三个小时**才能到达另一个入口。
此外,我们还被要求支付一笔**极其昂贵的额外费用**。我们认为这完全不合情理,尤其是考虑到问题的产生源于没有向我们提供明确的信息。
工作人员处理情况的方式也同样令人失望。各个接待处之间的沟通极为不畅;他们非但没有相互协作、寻找解决办法,反而让**我们这些游客去打电话解决**。我们反复解释情况,并试图自行协调不同工作人员之间的配合**。
我们已尽一切努力提前获取准确信息:多次询问、在指定时间抵达,还去了我们得到指示应使用的入口。然而,我们还是浪费了两个小时等待;随后又被告知去错了地方,还需再花三个小时赶路。他们被要求支付一笔极其昂贵的额外费用。
这绝不仅仅是一场不幸的误会。这是沟通与组织方面的严重失误,而事情的处理方式更是让体验变得糟糕透顶。
虽然与黑猩猩同游本身可能是一次美妙的体验,但根据我们的经历,我们**绝不推荐参加由该机构组织的此类活动**。如果您计划前往,务请确认准确的入口位置及集合点。事先以书面形式确定时间和全价,因为工作人员提供的信息既不清晰也不一致。
