Fantastic trip! Loads of elephants. A very chatty, informative driver with a great sense of humour.
Thanks very much. Margaret
I went on morning safari with my parents, my sister and my girlfriend in April with Nimal as out guide. It was my first safari and it was absolutely perfect!
Great wild life but we did not have a chance to see lots of bird but was fine for us.
The best Safari! We were lucky to see over 200 elephants and different kind of birds.
