It was a super cool experience, we could get very close to the elephants. The guide gave us lots of explanations and information about the safari and the animals. We learned a lot and saw a lot of new beautiful things. The duration was perfect for me too, we had seen everything and we stopped long enough at the things that were impressive.

A really great experience. We really enjoyed the tour with this guide. We highly recommend it. It was a real safari, with elephants getting very close, right up close to you. If you're looking for a safari, choose this company. My children and I were very happy.
It was worth every buck, Kavish took us to the best places where we could see herds of animals. Some peacocks and other birds. One incident where we saw rocks and thought elephants, he quickly u turned and fully trusted us over expanding the tour duration. He took full responsibility and care. A big thumbs up and fully recommend him
Experience was amazing! We could spot 20-30 elephants all together which was so beautiful! It was worth the safari during the evening.
