Super Safari with Nuno from Green Devil - All day in the Land Rover with our brilliant guide and driver Nuno. Genuine off-road driving on some interesting "roads". Nuno was very informative and exuded pride in his job and his home. Fascinating to see the changes in agriculture and crops as we climbed up to the highest point of the tour at 1600 mtrs. Good lunch at the stop in Porto Munis. Never considered eating fish with banana before, but it works. Porto Munis is beautiful but a bit busy. We didn't go swimming in the natural pools but it did look good fun. Saw the Enchanted Forest which was really good with all the condensation falling like rain from the trees.
