    Alleen het vervoer met het busje was matig erg lawaaierige lange rit. De tocht door de zandduinen in Dakar werd uitgevoerd met een terrein wagen die zeer slecht was.Onderweg gestopt om water bij te vullen. De wagen viel nog net niet uit elkaar net als wij.

    Het is schandalig om het roze meer in het programma te zetten, het is helemaal niet roze meer, wel zeer lekker gegeten, voor de rest was de jeep tocht een avontuur op zich, niet altijd even veilig.

    Het was in het frans, hij stond er een beetje onzeker bij de gids vertaalde het voor ons in het engels. Perfect leuk om te zien maar schildpadden beet houden hoeft voor mij niet, laat ze gewoon zitten waar ze zitten!
