“Best Queen Elizabeth - My return from Queen Elizabeth NP park was never forgettable and is for life time, I had fun with my guide Joseph, I visited the Kazinga channel where I had a boat cruise and saw crocs, hippos, and elephants on water. The following day I had a morning game drive where I almost saw all of Africa’s big five. Indeed the trip was 5-star, I highly recommend.” - Reviewed on 2025-04-21
