点评:Brilliant experience with NDET - from helpful emails answering my many questions, tailoring a nature program specifically for me; general itinerary advice; organising transfer jeep from Lumbini, to checking I got on the right bus at the end of my stay!
Guides were very impressive, Bali, (my personal guide throughout), and Suk, both so knowledgeable about all the fauna and flora; and whole ecology, not only the bigger animal behaviours. Highly skilled at birdsong identification, and tracking in a responsible way for the animals and ourselves… including when to move away from where fighting rhinos might run!
Taking great care to ensure I could get a good view of birds and animals they spotted. I felt as if I was being treated to a personal viewing of a tiger having its morning bath when Bali took us to the water near the start of the day jeep safari!
Jeep drivers were also interested and helpful. Good drivers on some difficult tracks, whilst being sensitive to wildlife and passengers too.
Schedule was tweaked for my best experience according to various conditions. Bali was flexible - eg. I expressed interest in history of local culture, he added a walk through the old village, sharing some of his extensive knowledge of Tharu people and culture, which was a really interesting bonus for me.
Genuinely passionate about conservation, listening to him, Raj, & Suk, I feel their dedication to responsible wildlife tourism, is authentic. (Great to hear there are more female guides being employed too!) Keep up the fantastic work. Beyond my expectations.
Thank you again to all the team.
翻译:与NDET的合作体验非常棒——从耐心解答我诸多问题的邮件,到为我量身定制的自然之旅;从行程规划建议,到安排从蓝毗尼出发的吉普车接送,再到最后确认我上了正确的巴士!
导游们都非常出色,巴厘(我的全程私人导游)和苏克,他们对动植物以及整个生态系统都非常了解,不仅仅是大型动物的行为。他们非常擅长辨认鸟鸣,并且以负责任的方式追踪动物,既保护动物也保护我们自己……甚至包括何时避开可能发生争斗的犀牛!
他们非常细心,确保我能清楚地看到他们发现的鸟类和动物。在吉普车之旅开始不久,巴厘带我们去水边时,我感觉自己仿佛在亲眼目睹老虎晨浴!
吉普车司机们也热情友好,乐于助人。他们在一些崎岖的道路上驾驶技术娴熟,同时又非常注重保护野生动物和乘客。
他们根据各种情况调整了行程安排,以确保我获得最佳体验。巴厘岛的导游非常灵活——例如,当我表达了对当地文化历史的兴趣时,他便安排了一次古村落漫步,并分享了他丰富的塔鲁族及其文化知识,这对我来说真是一个意外的惊喜。
他对自然保护充满热情,听他、Raj 和 Suk 的讲述,我能感受到他们对负责任的野生动物旅游的真诚投入。(很高兴听到现在有更多女性导游加入!)你们做得太棒了,远超我的预期。
再次感谢团队所有成员。
