    Very varied, reliable organization, always solution-oriented (big thanks to Nesi!), surprisingly good accommodation, great transport (Toyota Land Cruiser), impressive landscapes, friendly people, great group. I will probably become a regular Penguin customer!

    To begin with the visa issues, I got the details for it too late to get my visa on time. But Penguin sorted it out so I could have a visa on arrival, it was a bit of a stress around all that. But when all that was sorted out the trip was great, the local guides and crew was perfect. Sometimes some things felt a bit rushed. Maybe it would have ben better if the whole trip was a bit longer so there was some time to relax between the long drives. But in all a good trip and I will probably go with penguin again
