“The tour was in a jeep with big windows so everyone can see. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made frequent stops and pointed out the various birds and animals. We saw bulls, cows, white horses, and lots of flamingos! Three of the 7 people sat in the rear with backs to the windows. I'm older and found this seat to be uncomfortable. For younger people, I'm sure it's fine.”
