Elephant and wildlife - We would like to thank Robbie for a lovely trip. We did not see elephants but there is nothing that could be done to make this happen. Robbie was knowledgeable, considerate ( we are two ‘ wrinklies’) and was very keen to share his knowledge. We have another trip booked with Viator and do hope he will be our guide

Saw lots of elephants! - We saw a herd of elephants bathing and frolicking, and a herd of guar crossing a plane. Well worth the visit. Van was comfortable and had good AC, with a good, experienced driver. The guide ‘Mee’ had good English and helped us select good fruit at a fruit stand.

Elephants difficult to see - Having seen elephants in South Africa I expected a similar experience. As the visit is along a road there is little chance of seeing elephants up close. During my visit I saw an elephant drinking about a hundred meters away and another in the foliage about fifty meters away. The heat perhaps explains why the animals remained invisible in the forest. The tour organization was perfect,
