Super nice safari experience

We had a wonderful safari experience. The driver was able to tell us a lot about the park and the animals. Since it was a private tour, we could stop whenever we wanted. We did not feel that the park was crowded or the animals were kicked too close, so I can definitely recommend the tour.
