点评:Our 9 night, 10 day mobile safari with Letaka was genuinely a life changing experience. We flew into Moremi, then made our way to Mababe and Savuti in Chobe, spending three nights in each place. I went into the trip excited but honestly a little nervous about being so remote and completely without service, especially being outdoors for that long. By the end, I found myself not wanting to go back to normal life.
The wildlife was incredible, but what made the experience so special was everything in between. Sitting around the campfire at night talking, looking at more stars than I have ever seen, laughing until our stomachs hurt, and just being completely present was something I did not realize how much I needed. We went into this trip not knowing any of the other guests, and coming from completely different countries and backgrounds, I was not sure what to expect. Being disconnected from our phones actually helped us to connect with each other on a much more personal level. We left having made genuine friendships that I hope we keep for a very long time.
I truly cannot say enough good things about our team. Bait was an absolutely incredible guide. His knowledge seemed endless. Whether we were tracking animals, spotting something hidden in the distance, explaining animal behavior, answering our million questions, or telling stories around the fire, he made every day fascinating. You could tell how much experience and passion he has, and having him as our guide made the entire safari so much more memorable.
Mmolah was our incredible chef. I still cannot believe the food he was able to make in the middle of the bush with such limited resources. Every meal was so delicious. I genuinely looked forward to seeing what he was going to come up with next, and somehow he kept surprising us. It was honestly some of the best food I have had on a trip, which is saying a lot considering we were literally camping in the middle of Botswana.
Evidence was such a joy to be around and was incredibly accommodating. He was always so kind and attentive and managed to make everything feel easy and comfortable. He brought such a great energy to the group. And of course, Chief was always there working hard alongside everyone and was another familiar and friendly face who became part of our little camp family.
There is something really special about the way Letaka does this. You are truly out in the bush, but the team somehow creates this little home for you in the middle of nowhere. You wake up surrounded by wildlife, spend your days exploring, come back to an incredible meal, sit around a fire under the stars, and do it all again the next day. It is simple in the best possible way.
I came home feeling like I had experienced something that was much bigger than just a vacation. I disconnected from my phone, met people I never would have crossed paths with otherwise, saw things I will never forget, and laughed more than I have on any other trip. I already know I want to come back, and I want to bring every friend and person I know with me.
If you are considering doing a mobile safari with Letaka, do it. The remoteness might seem intimidating at first, but that ended up being one of my favorite parts. Ten days later, I did NOT want to leave.
翻译:我们跟随Letaka开展的为期9晚10天的移动式游猎之旅,确实是一段改变人生的体验。我们先飞抵莫雷米,随后前往乔贝地区的马巴贝和萨武蒂,每地都停留了三晚。出发前我满怀期待,但说实话,由于身处极度偏僻且完全没有通讯信号的地方,再加上要在户外待那么长时间,心里还是有些紧张。然而旅程结束时,我却完全不想回到平常的生活了。
那里的野生动植物实在令人惊叹。但让这次经历如此特别的,是其间的种种点滴。夜晚围坐在篝火旁聊天,仰望着从未见过的漫天繁星,笑到肚子疼,全身心沉浸于当下——这些正是我以前从未意识到自己有多需要的体验。出发前我们并不认识其他旅伴,大家来自不同的国家和背景,我完全不知道会有怎样的经历。离开手机后,我们反而能在更私密的层面上彼此建立联系。离开时,我们结下了真挚的友谊,我希望这种友谊能长久保持下去。
对于我们的团队,我真是不知道该说多少好话了。Bait是一位极其出色的向导,他的学识似乎无穷无尽。无论是带领我们追踪动物、发现远处隐藏的事物、解释动物的行为习性、回答我们层出不穷的问题,还是围坐在篝火旁讲故事,他都做得无可挑剔。他让每一天都变得妙趣横生。从他身上能感受到深厚的经验与满腔的热情;有他作为我们的向导,整个游猎之旅显得格外难忘。
Mmolah是我们出色的厨师。我至今仍不敢相信,他能在资源极其有限的荒野中做出如此美味的佳肴。每一餐都令人回味无穷。我总是满怀期待地等着他下次会带来什么惊喜,而他也总能让我们大吃一惊。说实话,那是我旅行以来吃过的最美味的食物了——考虑到我们实际上是在博茨瓦纳的荒野中露营,这一评价已经相当高了。
Evidence为人非常随和,也极其体贴周到。他总是那么友善又细心,让一切都显得轻松又舒适。他为整个团队带来了极为积极的氛围。当然了。Chief始终和其他人一起辛勤工作,他也是一位和蔼可亲、让人倍感亲切的人,早已成为了我们这个小小营地家庭的一员。
Letaka的运作方式真的非常特别。你确实身处荒野之中,但团队却能在荒无人烟的地方为你营造出一个温馨的“家”。清晨醒来时四周都是野生动物;白天尽情探索自然,晚上则能享用到美味佳肴;随后围坐在星空下的篝火旁,第二天再重复这一切。它以最简单的方式做到了极致。
回家后,我感觉自己经历的远不止是一次普通的度假。我暂时放下了手机,结识了许多平时根本不会碰到的人,看到了终生难忘的景致,笑得也比以往任何一次旅行都要多。我已然决定还要再来一次,而且一定要带上所有朋友和认识的人一同前往。
如果你也在考虑参加Letaka的移动式 Safari之旅,那就毫不犹豫地去吧。起初,这种与世隔绝的感觉似乎有些令人望而却步,但后来它却成了我最喜欢的地方之一。十天后,我实在舍不得离开。
