点评:Gondwana and Christelle were essentially perfect. There is no six star rating so they don't get six stars. Some suggestions for safarigoers:
1. Allow an extra travel day to get to Maun. We did, and we needed it because Air France missed our connection to Maun and we got to our meeting on time anyway. Otherwise we would have missed a day at Nxai Pan.
2. Mid-May was the perfect time to go. No rain, the desert is still green, the baby animals are not full grown yet, there were very few mosquitoes (almost none).
3. Nights are COLD, particularly at Nxai Pan where there is no standing water to give back the heat of the day. Gloves, beanie hats, fleece, etc.
4. The camps do not have ATM's and if you plan to tip in cash get pula at the airport.
5. Meals are excellent but very formal. If you are a night-snacker, bring your own.
6. Safari is NOT strenuous at all; mostly we rode in Land Cruisers, and got very little exercise. The rides are bumpy and you sway a lot and if you have a bad back (we don't) the constant movement might trouble you.
7. The game viewing is amazing and we got excellent photos and videos with an iPhone. All camps provided charging points but wi-fi and internet are very sketchy.
8. WILD DOGS!!
Safe travels!
翻译:冈瓦纳和克里斯泰尔简直完美。由于没有六星级评级,所以它们无法获得六星好评。以下是一些给其他游客的建议:
1. 前往马翁的行程最好预留一天时间。我们就是这么做的,而且确实需要这一天,因为法航的航班错过了我们飞往马翁的转机,不过我们最终还是准时到达了会议地点。否则,我们就错过了在恩克赛潘的一天。
2. 五月中旬是最佳出行时间。没有雨,沙漠依然绿意盎然,幼崽们还没有完全长大,蚊子也很少(几乎没有)。
3. 夜晚非常寒冷,尤其是在恩克赛潘,那里没有积水来吸收白天的热量。建议携带手套、毛线帽、抓绒衣等保暖用品。
4. 营地没有自动取款机,如果您打算用现金支付小费,请在机场兑换普拉。
5. 餐食非常美味,但用餐环境比较正式。如果您喜欢夜宵,建议自带食物。
6. 这次野生动物之旅一点也不累人;我们大部分时间都乘坐陆地巡洋舰,几乎没怎么运动。路途颠簸,车身摇晃得很厉害,如果你腰不好(我们没有),这种持续的晃动可能会让你感到不适。
7. 观赏野生动物的体验非常棒,我们用iPhone拍到了很棒的照片和视频。所有营地都提供充电点,但Wi-Fi和网络信号不太稳定。
8. 野狗!!
祝您旅途平安!
