Reviews
We arranged a private tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The guides were welcoming and accommodating to our specific requests. We encountered a variety of animal species, with an especially close experience with the elephants. I highly recommend this tour, particularly since we were the only visitors in the national park.
This safari felt just right with only one other Jeep alongside ours. The guides were knowledgeable about where to find elephants, allowing us to capture stunning photos. I highly recommend this experience. The only drawback was that the entrance fee, listed as $12 per person, included several extra charges.
The park is truly stunning, and I highly recommend a visit. However, be cautious about your jeep booking. Our driver and guide were not great, and the jeep was in poor condition with dirt, dislocated seats, and a rusted floor.
The tour was nearly a failure despite the fantastic naturalist. I organized transport to the safari park for an extra $40, but the driver waited far away on the main road instead of coming to my hotel. This led to confusion, as the hotel mistakenly thought they were handling the safari arrangements. If the driver had simply approached the hotel, this mix-up could have been avoided. Ultimately, my safari was delayed by an hour and a half, resulting in minimal wildlife sightings during this costly half-day excursion. Additionally, the tour operator requested that I pay for both legs of the transport. I refused to pay for the trip to the park after covering the return. The operator was extremely rude and uncooperative via WhatsApp, insisting on full payment. I advise against using these operators; they seem to take advantage of inexperienced locals who struggle with English. Furthermore, the condition of the safari truck was poor, and another passenger was transported without any explanation.
