Amazing Shaumari reserve - We had a really nice day with our driver (we forgot his name so sorry, it was April 20th), he added a free stop at a nice castle on the way back.
If you are animal lovers we recommend it, even if the price is quite expensive.
Our guide in Shaumari reserve was incredible, we saw so many oryx, even 2 gazelles and some wild donkeys. During the stop for the tea we had in front of us a group of 10 oryx with 4 babies, a little far for the eyes but amazing with the binoculars.
The wetland was ok, we had a nice guide, but we didn’t see any buffaloes unfortunately.
Driving in Amman on the way back was very hectic due to heavy traffic.

Good to see the good work going on in environmental and wildlife conservation in Jordan - Sad to see that water is still being drained from Azraq despite the work of the RSCN and the Government's undertaking to reduce illegal pumping and replenish. It's future is very much in the balance. It would be a great loss. Needs support.
Shaumari - undertaking breeding programmes for Oryx, Gazelle and Bustards. 2 hour safari very enjoyable.
Knowlegeable and committed guides in both locations.
Our driver was very informative and friendly. Gave a lot of information about Jordan, it's history and culture also.
Took us to have lunch in a local restaurant - best lamb ever and delicious salad. But not for the squeamish - carcasses hanging up outside the shop!
Would definitely recommend this excursion if you are interested in environmental issues and nature.
