Go ourselves through the national park? It's illegal and incredibly dangerous.. it's a huge park with game trails and dirt tracks in every direction so it's very easy to get lost. People in this town don't even walk anywhere after dark because the risk of encountering a wild elephant, rhino, leopard or tiger is so high. Only a couple weeks before we were there, a young girl was eaten by a tiger on her way to school. And even at our guest house, a rhino would come onto the grounds every day to wander around.. this place isn't a zoo, it's a prorected WILDlife reserve.. you're more than welcome to try it by yourself when YOU go
👏👏 good for you. Hope you realize though that our intentions are to share the story of our trip (of which we have ZERO regrets) not to make it into a competition of who is the "better backpacker". If you don't like our story, that's fine, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but you don't need to belittle us for it. We had a great time with our friends, old and new, and clearly there are some other people in the Steemit community who think our story is worth sharing.
