Enjoyable tour
I enjoyed the tour even though it wasn't what I expected. I thought there'd be some real 4x4 tracks and that we would see wild, not farmed, animals. That was probably ignorance on my part. I nevertheless learnt a lot about rice production and the bull industry. And we did see flamingos at three locations, which was the highlight for me. Olivier the tour guide is clearly passionate about this land and it was a pleasure to spend a morning learning new things.
