- Anonymous· August 22nd, 2012I had an absolutely exceptional 287 days on this trip! The trip notes prepared me well for what to expect! At times in was rough, just like the trip notes said it would be! My guide worked her butt off to ensure the trip ran smoothly and could even bake cakes over an open fire! The food was healthy, plentiful and meals were well balanced, however being a picky eater it was sometimes hard for me to "love" the food. ( My fault) We did have changes to our itinerary and some delays however, I genuinely feel that the decisions that were made were for our own safety and that the office was constantly watching out for us! I can't really comment on accommodation... I loved my tent and some campsites/hotels were better than others. I enjoyed bush camping and give that a 5 star rating! Expect the unexpected, go with the flow, prepare to rough it and this trip will change your outlook on the world. Overall, the trip was good value for money but I did need way more money than the trip notes suggest and I bought next to nothing in way of souvenirs. (compared to others). I would recommend this trip to serious adventure travelers but if you'll miss flush toilets it may not be your thing. I'll miss the truck and my truck family tons!Show more
