Our guide was very knowledgable and ensured we had time to watch the animals. We didn’t see the leopards but we saw a huge range of wildlife from elephants to the most beautiful birds.

Everything was as described. The jeep safari was also good, unfortunately when we were there it rained and the elephants didn't come out, but the organizer can't help that.
