Excellent time and instructive tour - I really enjoyed Leo’s passion for the leaf ants. He had a great setup showing the colony and how it brings back leaves to the hive. It’s a eye opening experience.

Very Knowledgeable Guide - We were lucky enough to be taken here and it was an extremely interesting tour the Guide was very knowledgeable about his subject and really gave a good informative talk . Lots of ants to see moving around some giant ones and was shown a Queen from a nest great visit and they lifted a lid and showed you all the chambers they make, the ants walk along logs doing what ants do and you can walk the length of their trail watching them.
