    I will be in Kazakhstan May 13 thru June 2 and have been trying to find ways to see various places. I would normally rent a car and drive myself around the country, but the cost of the rental is just too much for my budget.

    There are so many places to visit in Kaza, I am struggling on what area to concentrate my attentions. I had wanted to Saiga and flamingos which I understand both are only present in Korgalzhyn Nature Reserve this year. Also, Kolsai Lakes, Kandy Lakes, Altyn-Emel, Karaganda, and Aksu-Zhabagyly.

    Do you have a tour that you would recommend that would best get me around to see as many places as possible? I am a single older female traveler and having to pay premium prices as a single is really a problem. Perhaps there are tours you have scheduled that I can fit into during this time?

    Please let me know what you might have available. Thanks so much, Stella
