Additional Information
There is no electricity - kerosene lamps are used at night.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative, especially about birds. He arranged two additional meetings with us to point out birds in the trees around the buildings of the resort and possessed an amazingly sharp eye.

We were the only two people in the resort for these two days and there were four members of staff in attendance.

We found the mosquitoes very fierce and hungry!

We thoroughly recommend the experience despite the price!
