What to expect
You'll board a sturdy 4x4 vehicle built for rough terrain and water crossings. The guide steers through marshland and grassland, stopping to observe wildlife without disruption. Expect unpaved tracks, the smell of wet earth, and a bumpy ride—the vehicle's suspension handles it well. Sightings depend on season and animal behaviour; the guide reads the landscape to find herds and birds. You'll learn how locals manage this landscape and why the horses and bulls evolved their distinctive appearance.
