点评:A second trip to Mdonyo. This time I took some friends, two of whom had never been to Africa before. It was just as amazing as I remembered. We were met by Dietrich our guide, and Godson our driver. Godson was a familiar face as he had been our driver the first time. I don't usually go back to the same place twice, but both Lake Manze and Mdonya are so special, here I was again. I had been worried that it wouldn't live up to expectations, but these fears were completely unfounded. We had the most amazing time. Thanks to a quick tip-off and Godson's speedy driving, I finally saw wild dogs, just three, but the experience was overwhelming as I'd been hoping to see them for many years. Two of my travel mates (one of whom had been with me the first time) went out for a bush breakfast together and saw a male and female lion being very 'amorous' for an hour or so, they both described how privileged they had felt seeing this moment so close-up. The rest of us in the camp could hear it happening! The camp has roaming elephants, impala, baboons, and cheeky vervet monkeys, who were quite brave when eyeing up our breakfasts, it felt wild but safe. There were lion footprints near our tents, which was daunting and thrilling in equal measure. The tents and amenities are very well maintained and comfortable. The food is great, filling and plentiful. The chef was able to accommodate my request for a gluten-free diet which meant I was able to enjoy all the activities on offer without worry. The early starts are chilly, so bring some warmer clothes for the mornings before it starts to heat up. The nights can be cool so the hot water bottle in the bed at the end of the day was incredibly welcome. The two "African virgins" in our group have been bitten by the African bug and I am sure would be keen for a return visit. If you are thinking of going on safari, then both this camp and its sister camp in Lake Manze are just incredible, just do it, book it and go! We used Africa Travel Resource, they were incredibly organised and attentive and the whole trip went very smoothly. Many thanks to Michele, Joel, Dietrich, Godson and the wonderful team for another truly fabulous holiday and a new host of core memories to take with me into my old age!
翻译:第二次去姆东约。这次我带了一些朋友,其中两个朋友以前从未去过非洲。这次旅行和我记忆中的一样令人惊叹。我们的导游迪特里希和司机戈德森迎接了我们。戈德森是一张熟悉的面孔,因为他是第一次来时我们的司机。我通常不会两次回到同一个地方,但曼泽湖和姆东约都很特别,所以我又来了。我一直担心它不会达到预期,但这些担心完全是多余的。我们度过了最美妙的时光。多亏了快速的提示和戈德森的快速驾驶,我终于看到了野狗,只有三只,但这次经历让我不知所措,因为我多年来一直希望看到它们。我的两个旅行伙伴(其中一个是第一次和我一起去的)一起出去吃丛林早餐,看到一头雄狮和一头雌狮非常“多情”,持续了一个小时左右,他们都描述了他们如此近距离地看到这一刻是多么荣幸。营地里的其他人都能听到这一切!营地里有大象、黑斑羚、狒狒和厚脸皮的青长尾猴,它们在盯着我们的早餐时非常勇敢,感觉很狂野但很安全。我们的帐篷附近有狮子的脚印,这既令人畏惧又令人兴奋。帐篷和设施维护得很好,很舒适。食物很棒,很丰盛。厨师能够满足我的无麸质饮食要求,这意味着我可以无忧无虑地享受所有提供的活动。早上很冷,所以在天气开始变热之前,带上一些暖和的衣服。夜晚可能会很凉爽,所以一天结束时床上的热水瓶非常受欢迎。我们团队中的两个“非洲处女”被非洲虫咬了,我相信他们会很想再来一次。如果你想去狩猎,那么这个营地和它在曼泽湖的姐妹营地都很棒,去吧,预订,出发!我们使用了非洲旅行资源,他们组织有序、细心周到,整个旅程非常顺利。非常感谢 Michele、Joel、Dietrich、Godson 和出色的团队,让我度过了又一个真正美妙的假期,并留下了一系列新的核心回忆,让我可以带着它们进入老年!
