“The travel in the jeeps was great fun. The off-road route gave some fantastic views as well as an exhilarating time. the regular water-fights were as welcome as they were timely as it was a very hot day and we dried off very quickly anyway. the food was also tasty and exactly as you'd expect with salad, pasta, chicken and herbs and spices. there was the opportunity to purchase cold drinks and snacks at the two main stops as well as on the boat [if you selected the option). swimming in the water was refreshing and cool. Additional costs to bear in mind when you go; It's wise to purchase…”
