We had an incredible safari and saw so many elephants! Our driver and guide were both very friendly and provided a wonderful experience. We got to see some elephants close up, because they would stop the jeep and switch off the engine, and the elephants would approach or cross the path in front of us. They were very respectful of the animals and didn't crowd them, which some other tour providers seemed to be doing. The jeep was comfortable and there was a cool box with very cold bottled water provided which was great. 10/10, would absolutely recommend!
