Safari good test poor

The organisation into buses at the port was chaotic to day the least. After an hour qe arrived at an unknown park and looked at reptiles. It took a while before we had any explanation as to what was happening. Then after another 45 minutes traveling we arrived at the safari place. Only to hang around waiting for an age before getting on the tour of the game reserve. This was really good and if it hadn't been for this then the rating would be even lower. Another 30 minutes to the Lion park. This is not so much of a loon park as a bunch of lions in a very small enclosure. Longleat had a better lion enjoyment than this. Finally another good hour to get back to the port. Whilst the safari was good the test of the day left a lot to be desired.
