- worldwanderer3330 contributionsA very enjoyable train ride.My husband and I had a lovely trip on the Amtrak train Blue Water from Flint, Michigan to Milwaukee - via Chicago. The ride was great, and smooth - we had Red Coat assistance in Chicago, helping my 80 year-old husband. The trains were very clean, modern, comfortable. The Chicago to Milwaukee is a commuter train, also very comfortable, clean, with professional staff assisting. And they were on time! there was assistance at the doors to the trains for those who needed it. My husband says that the best part of our trip to Michigan and Wisconsin was the train ride.Written 14 November 2024

- timkH2910WU0 contributionsComfortabele safari with so many elephantsAwesome elephant safari! Our driver was super kind and besides the elephants that were easy to find he pointed out numerous animals in the trees such as a crocodile, specials bird and monkeys. Also the jeep was the most comfortable jeep we have ever road in. Tip! Our driver contacted us the day before to suggest we move the time and location to be able to see more elephants. We highly recommend you follow up on his expertise and experience. We saw around 75 elephants that day!Written 22 September 2024
