    This tour includes a lot of driving. We were lucky that our tour guide, Gus, made the trip so memorable. Gus had a huge depth of knowledge about the places, animals and people we saw and stopped to show us animals we had asked about. It was a lovely, mixed age tour group and everyone made a big effort.
