breakfast boxes free kayak hard communication service difficulties
the team prepared breakfast boxes for us to take on the road when our early safari was about to start. the kayak was free, and it was fun and safe, it gave a great way to enjoy the beautiful surroundings.
communication with the hotel team before my stay weren't good. it were hard to get in touch with someone to get things handled. the service was good, not really good, but it still shouldnt be so hard to communicate with a hotel.
