During our road trip in the USA we booked a swamp tour with The Last Wilderness Swamp Tours. Exactly on time, Al picked us up from the meeting point at Dale’s trading post.
We embarked in his boat and went on a 2 hour trip through the bayous. We saw quite a few alligators, many beautiful birds, a little snake and a fishing spider. Al allowed plenty of time to take good photos and explained us many things about the ecosystem and how it is threatened.
What makes this tour special is the fact that this is a private tour in a small, comfortable boat. The organisation is dedicated to preservation of the Atchafalya Basin wildlife (Al picked up some waste!).
All-in all, this has been a wonderful experience. I would recommend serious wildlife lovers to book this trip!
Vicksburg National Military Park gives a very good impression on one of the key battles of the Civil War. While driving the tour, one can get information by phone entering waypoint numbers. The description in combination with the landscape, gives a good impression how it must have been during the battle. It is incredible to see how close both parties have been during the fights.
When you are visiting this area you must see this place. Please reserve minimum 3 hours to take the tour.
