Feed and swim with rehabilitated turtles at Baraka Natural Aquarium in Zanzibar, with a guide, lagoon snorkeling, and seaweed feeding.
“A program tökéletes volt, a teknősök között lenni elképesztő élmény. Plusz pont, hogy nem volt tömeg, sorban állás, és így is másfél órán keresztül voltunk a medencében az állatokkal. Tényleg harapnak ha a nekik szánt tengeri fű túl közel kerül az ember làbához, erre figyelni kell. Mindkettőnket megharapott egy, de nyilván ez a mi hibánk volt, túl közel adtuk nekik az ételt. Egyébként ez sem vészes élmény, kicsit bekékült a helye, semmi komolyabb.”

“Nous avons été déçue. 1 : dans l’annonce nous avions sélectionner la langue française, ce qui n’a pas été respecté. Le fait de ne parler anglais en soit ne nous as pas déranger c’est plutôt sur le principe autant ne pas proposer si vous ne faites pas. 2. Le chauffeur est arrivé en retard à cause apparemment du trafic, puis s’est arrêté prendre de l’essence (ça il nous a prévenu pas de soucis) puis a un autre moment sur la route il s’arrête encore une fois descend de la voiture (sans rien nous dire et reviens 10min après). A la forêt de Jozani il nous lâche en nous montrant du…”
