    Cathy, Hello! .
    Hope you guys are doing well, when is your next trip?
    Hey dear, I just want to ask you a favor, would you please ask Steve since you're closer... if he consider a 70-200 lens appropriated for this trip? my other option is 80-400 both are Nikons.
    Please advise. and thanks for re-posting you report... it helps to refresh some info.
    Have a great evening.

    I did in another thread,but here it is again:

    This was set up for my wife and I (she went back to camp) so it had two cots, two heavy duty sleeping bags with flannel sheets and I believe some sort of mattress pad, and two pillows. It was very comfortable and warm. I only wish it had an awning over the pillow area- the dew was quite heavy. It was supplied with two hot water bottles (as was our bed back in camp). There was a wash basin set up at the head of the bed and two hand towels. We were supplied with one (or two?) large flashlights.

    cathyandsteve, I am glad and not at all surprised that Tauck did everything right in 2019. Still hoping to get some feedback from 2022 travelers who took this trip in early May. COVID concerns and all that….
