Incredible, reliable driver on time and friendly, safari was amazing- our jeep driver was so good at pointing animals out to us and was so lovely, the elephants were amazing and was good to learn more about them in the transit museum :)

Great trip & organisation, picked up on time & taken to the Safari location for the transfer to the Safari vehicle which had big comfortable seats... which are needed for the bumpy roads. Got to see plenty of elephants and peacocks, also got to see the baby elephants feeding station after the main safari. A great trip all round.
