Our guides were really funny,friendly& cooked amazing food.However,there was no wildlife to see&the few things we did see they (the guides&locals) tried to kill which I thought was disgusting.I did not pay to see animals being killed.Nobody told us what various different plants etc were,one of the guides kept setting off firecrackers which was sure to scare any potential wildlife off&the village trip was pointless we met no locals,it was deserted and we were there for about 15 mins!
