Fun and informative day with family - Great day, unfortunately we were unable to view the caves as they were flooded due to heavy rain. But MK our tour guide was great and was very informative at the rhino/ lion park.

Great tours and the perfect guide - What are great experience! Our guide MK was professional and fun from pick up at our apartment until drop off. He carefully selected the time for each location so that it wasn’t crowded. My advice would be to select Saturday (less traffic). He was attentive and gave really good information. He really went above and beyond when we left an item in the car and he drove out of his way to bring it to the airport. He even texted us to make sure we made it back to the US safely. I would highly recommend this tour. Ask for MK and tell him that Billy, Val and Rhys sent you.
