Amazing experience. Loved the entire trip - and the memorable safari was indeed worth all the money. Its was a complete family adventure for us and I just couldn't believe how freely animals roam here. For once I felt as if it was a movie set-up, we were lucky enough to witness variety of wildlife species here. Accommodation was decent , Had a lovely experience!

Although we didn't see a tiger, we did spot a leopard as well as a few elephants. Especially the opportunity to spot the elusive leopard was a threat
