5.00I booked 3 hour safari via tripadvisor. The tour began at 2.30pm and it was exactly the right amount of time. With only a short 10 minute drive from my hotel to the park entrance. I was looking at wildlife within 15 minutes of it beginning. The driver was knowledgable and friendly. He was very capable And well adapted at finding the animals and stopping in the perfect location to get the best view. I would highly recommend going on safari at this location particularly for the sunset time.
Nice 3 hour safari

5.00Our safari was excellent. We saw a lot of animals. Among them, elephants are special. Their natural behavior is great. They live by eating grass. Saw many other animals. There were many species of deer, foxes and birds. Our driver gave us a good explanation about the animals.

5.00[20/09, 7:46 pm] 😊Poddi☺️: On a good day you can see a large herd of elephants of all sizes. It is an amazing site to see close to 60-70 wild elephants roaming around. Great scenery and can get some really good photos. You must visit here 😍 [20/09, 8:05 pm] 😊Poddi☺️: Best to see wild elephants
