Private Wilderness Experience in Africa – Feedback: Seven questions for Matthias
1) Could you give us a short overview of your activities in the programme?
I’d describe myself as something between a guest and a guide.
2) What were your biggest challenges during the programme?
I haven’t dealt with any challenges – everything was great.
3) Was there anything that you liked most? Or anything that left you with a negative impression?
Observing the group becoming more familiar with the bush each day and their growing joy.
4) Did you have certain expectations before you started the programme?
This Private Wilderness Experience was actually my first “group tour”. It was fantastic – thanks to the group set up. Plus: the team at NATUCATE did a great job in planning the trip!
5) Did you do anything during your free time that you can recommend to other participants?
What I recommend to everybody: a hammock. A tear-resistant hammock.
6) Which recommendations would you give to other participants?
Less is more. You don’t need too much stuff. An important thing, though: Birding Basics.
7) Can you guess how many additional expenses you had?
I spent around 20 Euro per week.
