We have just returned from Africa where we experienced the most wonderful holiday of our lives. Although we have been on several of your tours we both agree this was above and beyond any of the other superb tours. The accommodation , scenery and unbelievable wildlife we have seen as well as the fantastic group of people we travelled with. Finally thank you all at Bay Farm Tours for allowing us to
“Live our Dream”.
We will also hopefully see, when at one of the rural villages in Namibia, traditional methods of ploughing with a team of oxen.
