“Assolutamente negativa! La vettura non era stata ben revisionata e pulita. Nella tasca posteriore al sedile (portaoggetti) era pieno di acqua e questo ha provocato il danneggiamento irreparabile del telefono che avevamo riposto al suo interno! Il telefono è ormai irreparabile e la compagnia locale ha detto che era solo un vano per mettere le birre e che non erano responsabili. Il veicolo doveva essere ispezionato prima di fare salire le persone a bordo. Detto questo, l l'escursione è stata del tutto inutile perché ci ha portato soltanto a vedere il grande Baobab. Delusione totale, soprattutto in considerazione del prezzo! SCONSIGLIATISSIMA!”
