    11 amazing crew for 12 travellers. Overall excellent. I did not expect the nights to be so cold. I should have brought one heating gel pad. Exodus rates it as a 4/10 physical level. I would rate it 6.

    Superlative from the moment I arrived at the airport and was ushered thru immigration. Every site was carefully chosen and the outstanding driver & guide (Daniel) were flexible in altering the schedule to meet the needs of the group. The lodging was wll above par as was the travel van. My only critical remark would be the trip needs to be 48 hours longer as a lot was crammed into the alloted time. Communications with Exodus were very good before the trip. Job well done!
