Elephants galore - Mission accomplished! Lots of elephants which is the main attraction. The trip and the guide was excellent with plenty of insight and seemed just as excited as us to spot the odd creature or bird. It’s not zoo so do not expect animals round every corner. The Thai meal after also fine. For half a day worth the trip.

A national park of beauty - The visit to the national park is very well organized. We are picked up at the hotel and dropped off at the park entrance. There, rangers take over and, in a pickup, we crisscross the park. Four fixed stops are planned, corresponding to four observation points. The visit to the park itself lasts about two and a half hours. The guide and driver is perfect. The rangers are very efficient and friendly. On the way back, we stop by the side of the road for a meal, a shame in an oay renowned for its tasty cuisine. The tour is warmly recommended and deserves five stars, the disastrous culinary aspect being overshadowed by the beauty of the park.

Amazing experience - A great half day , picked up from the hotel around 1h 15m to get there and then another 15/20m till we saw the first of several elephant troops and other local wildlife. We deliberately choose an overcast and cooler day as hoped it would increase our chances and we weren’t wrong 20+ elephants and an amazing scene at the end as a troop of 9 right in front around 25m away. We didn’t see much else but it’s really about seeing elephants in the wild. A lovely guide in the forest in our off road vehicle. The Thai restaurant you stop at for dinner is really good also. The driver and guide excellent. A brilliant trip

Great tour! - Talked with the guide who has been doing the tour 19 years and he said he only had 6 times where they had not seen elephants. Super tour and great food to cap off the evening as well!

Low-rise nature experience - Fun trip to Kui Buri National Park, comfortable transportation and friendly and nice guide and driver. We saw both a pair of elephants, kaur and beautiful birds, and had a nice meal with the other participants at the end of the tour. Something difficult to get answers to the questions we had because of the language barrier, the impression that the staff could only answer what they had "worked on" in English. But all in all a great experience, recommended on the most warm as the "low-slope" safari

Disappointing - Move on .. nothing to see. Noah would never have put his Ark together…. First stop 1 elephant in the distance. Second stop 1 elephant with tusks a bit closer. 3rd stop 1 gaur like a black dot. Two pairs of pied hornbill did fly past. In between a few egrets & nothing else. No birds no monkeys nothing. The guides were delightful & kind & could not fault them. Just a totally underwhelming experience, really & the feeling was that a lot of marking time by waiting for ages at each place. There was a gaur on the way out in the trees. Just disappointing… I know it is wild animals & you take a chance, but it was pretty bleak. The company were very helpful , but took the money before telling me I would have to make my own way as we couldn’t be picked up … an extra 2,000 baht. No refund

Waste of time - Waste of time …spent the day being pointed out only hornbill birds and a Thai cow which nobody could see as 2 pairs of binoculars between 8 strangers does not work . Food already was on the table when got to restaurant and it bland and cold . Seriously do not waste you’re money . The only wildlife I saw was a cat on way back to wagon 😳
