We wish to commend both Ibrahim and Nordine for their skills and friendliness. It goes without saying that we exchanged addresses for future contact. Full marks for the guides that we wish you to relay to them.

No suggestions How would you rate the difficulty of this ride out of 10 where 1 is very easy and 10 is very advanced? 7 Please explain why you scored it as you did The ride met all our expectations for challenges, excitement and interest. Having collectively 50 years of riding experience it is difficult for both of us to rate the "difficulty" of the ride - considering that on one of our treks in Botswana included a lioness charging at us (Sarah-Jane Gullick). I have rated it as 7 as the the temperature was challenging. We underestimated the amount of water we needed on the first day. Recommend to future rides that thet take at least 4 litres of water per person. Would you recommend Unicorn Trails to your friends?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Please give more details to explain your response Adventure. Access to remote areas. Different cultures. May we use you as a reference for other people wishing to go on this ride?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Any other comments Unicorn comments
