A truly memorable safari - This was a really special trip. We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable van by our driver Mr. Yonk. The drive to the park was easy and pleasant, and then we transferred to an open safari truck to drive through the park. It was very quiet in the park the day we visited - hardly any visitors at all. Looking at previous reviews, and based on my own experience of wildlife safaris in Africa, it's clear that you need a moderate slice of luck to be able to see the elephants - after all they are wild animals living in a big national park not a zoo enclosure - but the success rate seems to be pretty high overall. And we got really lucky. The first indication that we would have a lucky day was almost as soon as we entered the park we saw a great many hornbills flying overhead and through the trees. Apparently this is quite unusual - they are more usually seen later in the day, on leaving the park. We also saw other beautiful birds, such as a kingfisher. Within a few minutes we caught our first glimpses of a group of elephants, and as we tracked them we eventually ended up in the perfect spot, where we were able to exit the vehicle and view them pretty close-up on foot for at least 30 minutes. The landscape in the park is truly spectacular, and even though I've been lucky enough to see elephants in Africa up close many times, this was a uniquely beautiful experience that I won't forget, seeing these majestic and serene animals in this paradise. We also saw large numbers of gaur, which are also majestic and fascinating animals in their own right, but the elephants are certainly the stars of the show here. This was a really memorable trip that exceeded expectations. We also hired the same company to take us on a long excursion from our hotel on check-out day to Ayutthaya, and then onwards to the airport. Again they were outstanding with kind and professional service. Mr Yonk also took lots of photos on both days - both with my camera for family group shots, and with his own phone, which he shared with me afterwards. He really helped me get a great collection of memorable images from the two days.

Elephants in their natural habitat - We were picked up from our hotel by our guide Bobby. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about Kuiburri Park and the elephants. When we arrived we transferred onto an open back truck and began our journey around the park. We were very lucky to see 2 mums with babies and other elephants. The rangers were brilliant at maneuvering the trucks to make sure that everyone was able to see. I really wanted to find somewhere that actually was a sanctuary for elephants. Not a chain, hook or mahut in sight.. this place is it! You are told that you may not see any elephants but I was happy in the knowledge that this meant they were roaming free. When the tour was over we transferred back to our air conditioned mini bus and was taken for our evening meal. The food was delicious I would like to thank Bobby for an amazing day. He was brilliant 👏

Epic stuf - Bobby is an amazing guide! Very interesting stories, nice park and we saw 21 elephants, birds and cows. Very very recommended mostly if you ask for Bobby!

Stunning park - highly recomended - Amazing experience, only an hour's drive from Hua Hin. Well managed National Park, where the public is allowed only with staff within a fraction of the area of 969 km2 to protect the wildlife. Even then, we were told that chances of seeing elephants and their local gaur (buffalo-like animal) were great. We were not disappointed, and saw both at a respectful distance. Our guide, Yonk, was extremely friendly and knowledge, building on 10 years' experience. The park itself is stunning, and gave us a strong fealing of inner peace.

A peaceful, fascinating encounter with forest elephants. - A great experience, saw two separate matriarchal herds and a lone bull. The Guar were an added bonus. Highly recommended tour company- outstanding service.

Wonderful Experience - Great experience. Saw water buffalos, monkeys, beautiful birds and one big elephant from very close. the guide was very good.

Beautiful surroundings and majestic Asian elephants - We had a great time with Yonk as our guide. And we were very lucky to see a herd of elephants in beautiful Kuiburi National Park- thank you for a lovely day.

Elephant and wildlife - We would like to thank Robbie for a lovely trip. We did not see elephants but there is nothing that could be done to make this happen. Robbie was knowledgeable, considerate ( we are two ‘ wrinklies’) and was very keen to share his knowledge. We have another trip booked with Viator and do hope he will be our guide

Nice Guide - Tour disappointing - Take this tour if you are happy to risk seeing nothing, no animals at all. The guide was nice, car was clean but we and about 10 other cars we passed saw no elephants on our day. I wouldn't recommend for small children, they take you to a cliff look out, with beautiful views to look out for an hour but had no guide rail. No safe for little children, lots of ants and bee's. The service and people were great, you just need to be happy with the possibility of seeing nothing like us and many others.

Elephants difficult to see - Having seen elephants in South Africa I expected a similar experience. As the visit is along a road there is little chance of seeing elephants up close. During my visit I saw an elephant drinking about a hundred meters away and another in the foliage about fifty meters away. The heat perhaps explains why the animals remained invisible in the forest. The tour organization was perfect,
