Chitwan Safari

4.00Overall the tour was very good. Our hotel and transport were arranged with no issues at all. We stayed at the Maruni Sanctuary Lodge - the hotel was clean, quiet and the food was reasonable. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable. We managed to see Rahinos a few times and witness elephants bathing at midday, which was very impressive. Just one thing, the tour should inform clients on the literature what colour cloths not to wear (i.e. no red, no yellow, no white and no black) - it would be useful to know about this in advance of the safari and to pack the right colour cloths!

5.00No one from the tour agency Liberty Holidays, Kathmandu was there to take us back to our hotel (Marriott Kathmandu) from the bus stop on our return from the Chitwan National Park tour even though they were supposed to. We waited for about half an hour and also made several calls to their office as well as to the owner of Liberty Holidays and these calls were not answered. We felt ignored. I have given 5 stars only to the attraction and not to the tour company. The tour company was unprofessional.

4.00The tour itself was nice. We saw a few animals having done the Jeep safari as we as the dugout canoe.
The guide was very nice and came to our room Ayer the safari to tell us he found a rhino. He brought us back to see it with no extra charge.
The river ride very relaxing.
We met Mel the rhino.
Wow.
Road getting to the park is awful. Not 5 hours but more like 8-19 of the roughest road in the world. For about 100 you can fly. So worth it.

5.00You will spend an lot of time in the bus; so if you have got time, do the 4 day tour. If not, the 3 day tour is still highly recommended. Chitwan is so beautiful, it is easy to spot bears, rhinos, crocs and many other animals and the guides were great. Just please refrain from the elephantride!!
