There are no words to express how great that holiday was! We absolutely loved it and all agreed that it was our best holiday ever! Huge compliments to OROKO for this trip and we will be recommending you for certain. The itinerary was perfect in terms of variety and length of time at each place. The accommodation was fantastic and we haven’t a single thing we could complain about in that regard.
