5.00We did the tour round the reserve with driver Navee. He knew all the best spots and we got to see at least 20 elephants. He knew lots about the animals too and did a great job on the bumpy roads.
Great experience

5.00I’ve traveled to 70 countries over the last few years and done tours in many but this one tops the list. From great communication at booking to the very intel pick up time I knew it was going to be a great day. My guide was Navee and he wasn’t just great, he was spectacular. That park is huge and any of the animals could be anywhere but the communication between him and the other guides ensured we were able to see the maximum available on that day. His eyesight is something else as well and how he spotted some of the birds blew my mind. I’ve seen tons of elephants before in different countries but had yet to see a baby which is primarily why I wanted to do this safari. Navee told me that there were a couple but guaranteeing to see one was impossible again give the size of the park and the dense bush land that they roam in. His persistence to give 100% effort was noticed and near the end of the day we found one! What a thrill it was and made my day. So here is the breakdown I would give; Communication - 10/10 Punctuality - 10/10 Vehicle visibility and comfort - 10/10 Value for money - 10/10 The park in general - 10/10 Navee my guide - 20/10! Thanks so much for giving me and experience, photos and videos I will cherish forever 😊
