Memories 🐘 - A really nice experience, never get to and forget this trip so incredible and get so close to the animals, the elephants are absolutely magical Was comfortable and sitting in the jeep car even if the roads are dumped If I should say one thing that could be different then it is about lunch, we thought we should stop a place and eat but there was no arrangement for it so we did not get the opportunity and eat lunch, fortunately we had with us fruit that we got eaten in the safari car, for is difficult and eat the type of lunch we got served in the car while it runs pg of the roads are as they are. But otherwise recommend this trip

Must visit!! - Our guide was an amazing tour guide and driver. He was early to pick us up in the afternoon for our tour and very friendly. He had extensive knowledge of the park and all its wildlife, stopping wherever he saw something that to the untrained eye would be impossible!

Unbelievable experience and an outstanding tour guide - We had a private tour just me and my partner and what a treat it was to have Sakun as our guide. His knowledge, his enthusiasm and his love for animals was a real highlight. We were lucky to see all animals the park has to offer (apart from the elusive leopard) and Sakun made sure we went to the right locations at the right times to give us the best chance to see all the park's inhabitants. The little breakfast packs, the cooler full of drinks were a thoughtful touch and the traditional lunch was absolutely delicious. Cannot fault Sakun and the experience we had. Well worth the early wake-up!

Excellent safari with a wonderful guide - We had an excellent safari with a wonderful guide Sakun. Such a thoughtful and considerate guide who was able to show us a great range of animals and wildlife, whilst being respectful and avoiding the crowds. The booking process was really easy and we even had transfers arranged to and from our accommodation. Would highly recommend!

A disappointing non trip - Got up at 3am for 4am pick up. Waited at reception till 5am using hotel reception to try to contact the tour people. Eventually the tour people rang the reception guy and told us the vehicle had broken down in the way. Not sure why they couldn’t ring me or reception at the hotel we were being picked up from as they had both numbers. Never mind, this happens but would have been nice to be able to go back to bed. I am now waiting for Trip Advisor to decide if I can have the £340 refunded and hope it’s in time to book another safari with the money while we are in country on this trip off a lifetime
