Enjoyable experience - We really enjoyed our safari. Our driver and guide were skilled in spotting and we saw many birds and creatures, including two enormous crocodiles. The elephants didn’t put in a showing, due to the slight rain we were told, but we were lucky enough to see one by the road on the drive back from the park. We had a longer safari than we anticipated and the start time was changed to 2pm. We arrived back at the western park entrance at about 7pm. Our first hour in the park was very quiet and rewarding and we felt like we were the only visitors in the reserve.
We were very glad that we had taken our own binoculars to use as this meant that we could see the animals and birds much better than with the naked eye.
Our guide spoke little English so we weren’t able to find out much about what we were seeing and the various habitats unfortunately but a quick look at the information board before setting off did help.
There was an element of ‘off road’ experience towards the end of our time in the park, which was fun but further animal spotting would have been preferable. Other safari jeeps were also doing this so I guess it’s part of the experience.
Communication was good and the driver and guide were there to meet us on our arrival although we felt that a warmer introduction would have been nice.
