Great views - Good day out. Guide had good conversational English. Makes a change to get into the countryside and maybe see a few elephants.

Nice safari, good guide - Very nice safari despite being very hot, but close to missing elephants. At the last moment an elephant appeared at the water hole at the starting point. Very close! Very nice guide.

Guided tour - Guide explaining detail, easy to understand and in a friendly way Guide took time to find us the elephants, eventhough we did not see a lot of animals but the ride to the park felt like a real safari.

All About The Elephants - This is really a half day to see wild elephants. A few other interesting birds and a dinner at the end, but if you don't get good elephant sightings then it would be a real busy. We were lucky enough to see plenty (about 19) hence the review.

Not a petting zoo experience - Seeing a few herds of elephants and gaur in the wild and not in a petting zoo (seemingly the replacement for riding elephants these days) is a great experience. Eventually hopefully this will become the only way to view wildlife. Apart from a broken suspension part on the transit vehicle (replacement vehicle arranged) all went well.

No elephants! - We didn't get to see any elephants on the trip, which is obviously never going to be guaranteed. However, the main complaint is that instead of driving around trying to find them (which is what we were expecting), we simply got out at viewing points to look into the distance to see if any appeared. Even if they had, they would have been difficult to really see, and certainly not the close up experience that the promotional images lead you to believe and that we have enjoyed on other tours. The scenery was lovely to be fair, and we enjoyed a nice traditional dinner on the way back, but that is not why we booked this particular trip.
