Superb day - Choose Into Tours, our guide was great, he does everything to make you have a good day, he knows very well the Park and the places to stop to see as much and as well as possible. In small groups, everyone can see, and the schedule was managed perfectly.

WOW - After a quiet start where we saw a number of different animals including zebra, warthog and 2 solo elephants our guide Gary took us to a waterhole where the view can only be described as WOW! There were so many elephants there, some bathing in the water some out standing at the side and an adorable baby being fed. This was the first of a few waterholes where each seem to have more elephants than the last. At one there was a wonderful sight of the backs of a large family of elephants leaving that hole on their way to the next. A visit with so many memories, so many photos and so much fun.

Not to be missed! - Super visit to the park -this is a national park and the animals are free to roam and some of the animals are harder to find but our guide Mr X, was excellent at finding some we may have missed, with over 700 elephants- they were not in short supply and I will never forget seeing hundreds of them at the water hole

Outstanding park, tour, and lunch! But…. - 1. Terrific park! Many animals! Excellent tour guide! 2. Best lunch on an excursion we’ve ever had! But… 3. Vehicle was not conducive to good viewing. Cramped van, small windows. If you want a better viewing experience, check out a company with more ‘open’ vehicles. 4. Terrible plan to fill vans as we got off the ship. They set it up so that they had 10 specific people assigned per van, and a van didn’t leave until all 10 were on board. This, of course, was a complete failure, as 1 or 2 people who didn’t get on the customs line early held up the rest of the van. We waited about an hour until we and several other almost-full vans loudly complained. Only then did they start combining partially filled vans, and sending vans as they filled with people came off the ship. Overall an excellent tour, but this operator easily could have done better.

Plenty of elephants to see! - Very informative and enjoyable! Saw so many elephants! Also saw plenty of Wart hogs and Zebra. Driver had loud talk radio on in the van while driving us( in another language) - very annoying! He didn’t have much to say to or from the park, and when you’re in a new city, it would be nice to get this info.

Great for elephants - Superb for seeing Elephants. Saw at least 200, but although they advertise the big 5, the park has only 5 lions and even fewer leopards so your chance of seeing them is near zero as the park is huge and they stay away from the parts travelled by vehicles. Saw two jackals and 3 cape Buffalo. Lots of Zebras and a few various antelope and one giraffe outside the park. No hipos or rhinos. A great experience if you haven’t been on parks or true safaris. The roads are good and many people just rent a car and drive around themselves. No need for a 4x4. As we have been in numerous safari’s including doing the great migration this was a little bit of a letdown but you do get to see the elephants up very close
