Moderate. Many long days with hot & humid conditions at some sites. Several evening owling sessions (optional). Food variability is limited.
Mostly comfortable to good standard. Some more basic lodges, but all have hot water and air-conditioning where necessary.
Moderate to difficult. Large number of scarce/rare or localised target species. Some forests can be very quiet at times. Sightings can be distant or fleeting, playback & feeding stations are critical
Scenic drives, an interesting history, some beautiful, intact forest still remaining in many areas
Worthwhile to challenging, typical forest photography difficulties, some dedicated hides.
Overall a very good tour. Excellent group and of course, Glen Valentine was brillant and our in country local guide was both a valuable addition and an entertaining and delightful companion.
