Spectacular experience!! Highly recommended. We saw elephants, leopards, crocodiles, buffalo, monkeys, mongooses, peacocks, and all kinds of birds. We want to give a special mention to the Panchi Safari 4x4 driver who did everything he could to ensure we saw as many animals as possible. He looked for lagoons where they came down to drink, places where they rested… A true professional who deserves recognition.
We had two wonderful safari experiences and we are extremely happy with both of them! The driver was right on time on both occasions and drove very safely and professionally. We saw two leopards, as well as many other animals. It was an amazing experience! Everything was very well organised. There was plenty of drinking water and fruit, and the driver also made sure we had enough time to take photos. We really enjoyed both safaris and had a fantastic experience. Thank you very much!
