Great safari - bring snacks

Great trip, saw lots of wildlife and the drivers were very helpful at spotting the wildlife and explaining facts etc. One small issue was that it started so early we weren't able to get breakfast as nowhere was open and no snacks provided, so it's useful to arrange something to take. The driver was great and stopped at a place for us to pick something up when we got there (6am) otherwise we'd have been falling over from hunger.

Elephants galore!

What a fantastic place to visit. We saw so many elephants, at least 40 and all were close enough that if you only have your phone for photos then it would be enough to get great shots. Whilst the elephants were the highlight we also saw buffaloes, jackal, mongoose, monitor lizards, black necked hare, kingfishers, bee eaters, peacocks (which are everywhere), spotted deer, crocodile, fruit bat, parakeets, minor birds, frogs, jungle fowl (the national bird), painted storks, pond herons and numerous other birds. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation and the safari jeep was ideal for a great view of the wildlife.

Amazing! Well done Navee!

Wow! Just wow! We saw lots of amazing sights, and Navee was absolutely wonderful. 10/10 experience and guide! I have no clue how Navee managed to spot some of the lizards and geckos, but honestly hands down it was amazing. 🥰
