5 stars for the Sanctuary 1 star for the transportation guide - Everyone should visit this fabulous sanctuary to see first hand the amazing work Charles and Susan do. You can book this directly with them and not pay for an unfriendly and rude guide who didn’t speak to us the whole journey there and back and clearly didn’t like animals. Please visit and support the sanctuary but make your way there by other means
