However, I must say I was disappointed that Unicorn only suggested the Fairview hotel for the night before the trip started, which is a quite expensive place. I would have liked to have a cheaper alternative. Fyi, I stayed at Mvuli house, for approx 50€ per night including breakfast. It is a safe and clean place, with very helpful staff, very well located for both airports. (nothing fancy there though, but with a decent price, it can be an intersting option for those travelling with a more limited budget) How would you rate the difficulty of this ride out of 10 where 1 is very easy and 10 is very advanced? 8 Please explain why you scored it as you did average of 6 hours riding per day. Possibility to jump trees, and ditches! long canters and gallops Would you recommend Unicorn Trails to your friends?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Please give more details to explain your response May we use you as a reference for other people wishing to go on this ride?     (   ) NO     (X) YES Any other comments Unicorn comments
