点评:We loved the Wildside Tour. The close access to the animals, our guide's heartfelt stories of the animal's back stories and habits, and feeding the giraffes was wonderful.
We also stayed overnight in the tents at Wildnights at the Outpost. While the experience was unique and parts were great, it didn't live up to my expectations - especially given the price. Possibly this was just our experience but the animals were very far from us - you could barely see them without binoculars. In the morning one rhino did come by, close to our fence, to say hello which was a high point.
There were 2 guest tents (with 4 cots each) and one for the overnight guide. We cooked meals with the food they provided, using their large grill. That worked out fine and we were happy with the breakfast items we purchased. Just be aware that it's a rustic experience instead of a glamorous one - for example the coffee pot was missing and some of the buns were stale.
A few practical notes: there are outlets in the wooden pavilion so we were able to charge our phones. Be forewarned that the people who answer the phone had not been to the location so they had to ask others to answer detailed questions. Hopefully the Wilds will arrange a visit for them sometime in the future.
Overall the experience is unique and definitely worth doing - as long as you go in with realistic expectations.
翻译:我们非常喜欢这次的野外之旅。近距离接触动物,导游热情洋溢地讲述动物背后的故事和习性,以及喂长颈鹿,这些体验都非常棒。
我们还在前哨基地的野外之夜帐篷里过夜。虽然这次体验很独特,部分内容也很棒,但并没有达到我的预期——尤其是考虑到它的价格。也许这只是我们的感受,但动物离我们很远——不用双筒望远镜几乎看不到它们。早上,有一头犀牛经过我们家的围栏附近,跟我们打招呼,这真是个亮点。
帐篷里有两顶客用帐篷(每顶有四张帆布床),还有一顶是给过夜导游的。我们用他们提供的食物和大烤架做饭。一切都很顺利,我们对购买的早餐也很满意。但要注意,这是一次质朴的体验,而不是奢华的体验——例如,咖啡壶不见了,有些面包也变质了。
一些实用信息:木制凉亭里有插座,所以我们可以给手机充电。需要注意的是,接电话的人之前没有去过那里,所以他们不得不请其他人来回答一些细节问题。希望荒野之家以后能安排他们来参观。
总的来说,这次体验很独特,绝对值得一试——只要你带着现实的期望去体验。
