Highlighted reviews from other travelers
We loved it from start to finish. Our guide Ishan was very helpful and always helpful especially to my husband who has a disability. His kindness was very appreciated. He was informative and patient while we took pictures. Highly recommend this tour. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us.
The guide was in the truck cabin so didn't talk much, but he knew his tour very well and pointed out all the wildlife, even the smallest creatures and those hiding under cover. The highlight for me was seeing the elephants (including a very young baby) all around us and so close. We followed them for some time and it was amazing. Please note that the canters seat 6 and the first 2 rows have plenty of knee room, we were stuck in the back which have none (I'm 5'2") and after 5 hours are very uncomfortable. All is forgiven because I saw elephants in the wild.
