After the guide, RANGA was the most kind and friendly. You will have plenty of knowledge as a guide, and above all, you will feel comfortable with distance. It was unfortunate because some of the animals were carefree so I could not see them, but it was a tour that I enjoyed.

Enjoyed seeing the wild animals. Even saw elusive leopard..and a jackel. Monkies all in the branched of big tree a sight. So yes I recommend this safari. However I would like the operator to try to better corridenate the dispatcher and the driver...I had three different start times...constant frustrating communications. However....so see the animals and the park. Sincerely. Mike

Great, professoinal, guide who spoke our language and was extremely knowledgable. The tour itself was very good with both the tour guide and the jeep driver helping us spot the different animals and get close to them.
