Hi Fiona thank you for your feedback. Though this is a wildlife departure we do note that the first day is the arrival day with no itinerary planned. The second is to explore the city before heading on to the wildlife parks. The dairy farm allows for a stop on a long driving day to stretch your legs and see its Friesian cattle, quite an unexpected sight just 5 degrees from the equator. The museum you mention is not part of the itinerary as such was an added extra, but in light of your feedback we will consider it going forward. In most cases homestays offer a cultural aspect however on this trip we advise the homestay properties benefit from the best locations, in the heart of the rainforests and with scenic views over the Mountain Ranges.
