The tour started off with a really early morning pickup. Our guide Linus was very punctual, knowledgeable about the wildlife, and answered all our questions without difficulty. He also took great pictures for us and navigated through a few unexpected obstacles promptly. At the park we got to see 3 of the big 5, and learnt so much about elephants at the orphanage while watching the cutest baby elephants nurse and play. The visit to the giraffe centre was straightforward, fun, and short, concluding the tour and leaving enough time in the day to get back and do something else with your afternoon. Highly recommend ⭐️
