The organization of this company was incredible. We were smoothly picked up from the cruise port and transported to the park, where we accessed clean bathrooms before the safari. In the safari vehicle, we got up close to elephants, fabulous birds, buffalo, and more. The team was excellent, with some members speaking great English, and everyone worked hard to make it a fabulous experience.
