点评:Bertjan was our guide on a private tour at the Kruger National Park and largely thanks to him it became an unforgettable experience for our family! He is erudite, thoughtful, and tireless. From 5.30 am when we would be at the gate waiting for it to open till 6 pm when we had to be back at the camp we would explore different parts of Kruger and then Bertjan would make braai for us in the evening.
I’ve been to a few safaris snd what makes Bertjan stand out is his vast knowledge, passion for the nature, and an ability not just to spot an animal and give some basic facts about it but to tell a story about its behaviour, role in the habitat and its place in the local folklore. I am sure we would have missed half of the animals if we were on our own, and even if did see them we wouldn’t have noticed the nuances of their traits and features. A lion pride strolling by our car, an elephant tusker having a mud bath, a beach full of vultures, courting giraffes - so many moments straight out of the National Geographic! I am particularly grateful to him for bringing to our attention species we would not normally pay attention to - dung beetles were a revelation!
I would highly recommend Bertrand as a guide at Kruger - or, indeed, other national parks and natural reserves. He is friendly, engaging and keen to make sure his guests are comfortable and enjoy their visit.
翻译:Bertjan 是我们克鲁格国家公园私人游的导游,多亏了他,我们一家的这次旅行才成为一次难忘的体验!他博学多识、体贴周到、不知疲倦。从早上 5:30 守在门口等着开门,到晚上 6 点返回营地,我们一直在探索克鲁格国家公园的不同区域。晚上,Bertjan 会为我们准备烤肉。
我参加过几次狩猎旅行,Bertjan 的突出之处在于他渊博的知识、对自然的热爱,以及他不仅能识别动物并讲解一些基本知识,还能讲述它们的行为、在栖息地中的角色以及在当地民间传说中的地位。我敢肯定,如果我们自己去的话,会错过一半的动物,即使看到了,我们也不会注意到它们性格和特征的细微差别。一群狮群在我们车旁漫步,一头象正在泥浴,海滩上挤满了秃鹫,还有求偶的长颈鹿——太多精彩瞬间仿佛来自《国家地理》!我特别感谢他让我们注意到一些我们平时很少关注的物种——蜣螂简直是天马行空!
我强烈推荐Bertrand担任克鲁格国家公园的导游,或者其他国家公园和自然保护区的导游。他热情友好,乐于助人,并且致力于确保他的客人感到舒适,享受他们的旅程。
