A well set up area in the bush with homes of different tribes. Our guide (Ariel ? the name he gave so we could remember ) who spoke perfect English had a vast knowledge and understanding of the history and tribal differences. He also had a great sense of humour. He was very attentive to all members of the tour group. We enjoyed sampling the different foods and drinks and the entertainment including the indoor bamboo trampolinePatricia_P
