Not bad but not great, two rhinos by the waterhole we like but spotted maybe 30 species only. Maybe can improve, little bit expensive.

our guide Mateo really knew their stuff and two rhinos by the waterhole was the highlight. Booked it for my birthday so it wasnt too busy. Fine even with my dodgy knee, and out for a solid 6 hours, and out for a solid 6 hours. Would book again no question, loved it

our guide Elena couldnt do enough for us and a massive herd of elephants crossing in front of us was the highlight. For our anniversary so it wasnt too busy. Miles ahead of a similar safari we tried in bangkok, and went last tuesday. Would book again no question.
