San Pedro is a fun and quaint little Island. We went on 2 snorkeling trips one during the day where we visited sting ray alley. Here we snorkeled with nurse fish and sting rays exclusively. Our second stop proved exciting as we swam with sea turtles. The second snorkel trip was at night. We each had flash lights in our hands and followed our guide closely. It was one of the most exciting snorkeling trips we have experienced since we have never seen the nocturnal fish in such large quantity. We saw sharks, huge green eel's and octopus. Lobsters were hiding in the rocks and of course seeing a shark at night is quite a thrill. Our son, Adin was a trooper. He was a bit tentative but once he jumped off the boat into the water he was good to go. Seeing the divers below with their bright lights was a comfort to him and to me.
We are already planning a return trip to spend more time on San Pedro and hopefully get in some diving this time.
Thanks Adventure Life, you are great! This is our second trip with you and we look forward to many more.
The trip was not only memorable for the amount of animals we saw but also for the people and accommodations at the two camps where we stayed. Our first guide, BK, was a wealth of information about the animals, landscape and down to the plants and what they were used for. Everyday out was a learning experience with him. All the people at the camps were gracious and the food was excellent.
Our second camp in the Okavanga was just as good as the first as far as the staff, accommodations, food and animals. After our experience at the first camp we amazed that the high quality remained the same. Our guide, G, made sure we were able to enjoy every experience including a rush through the bush to witness a cheetah and an ensuing hunt that he heard over his radio.
In both camps there were enough guides out that if they saw something the other guides were informed which helped in seeing as much as possible. It was also nice that the concessions were large enough that we did not have vehicles following each other throughout the day.
Normally there is always something in a trip of this length that we think could be improved upon but this is the rare case where we cannot think of anything. From the time we left the States to when we returned it was one of the most hassle free vacations we took.
Perhaps emphasizing the use of the laundry facilities at the camps would be useful because of the luggage restrictions would be the only thing I can think of as an improvement to future clients.
