Everything was very good. From pick up to the safari itself, to the guide who had excellent English. We saw many animals and we really enjoyed the nature of the park and seeing plenty of animals. We really appreciated seeing the biodiversity of the park

Great experience. Didn't make it all the way to the Indian Ocean coast but the variety of landscapes is interesting and very beautiful. Try to get there earlier rather than later, as there are more animals.
Great

Awesome tour, Edison was great. The national park was cool, saw a lot of giraffes and zebras, one hippo, no luck for elephants. I requested that we go for lunch at millibangalala resort and they were very willing to accommodate and very responsive to communicate with before the trip . I’d definitely recommend asking for this stop as the resort and beach are really beautiful. The tour also provides a nice picnic lunch. Overall a great experience.
Long day but worth it!
