The tour was outstanding! Transportation was punctual and quick. The staff served breakfast at the border, including coffee, tea, cake, and fruit. Border procedures went smoothly. During the tour, cold water and soft drinks were available. The best part was seeing so many animals in the national park. The game drive took place in the morning. Lunch was excellent at a beautiful hotel, and the river cruise was incredible, allowing us to see a large number of animals up close, including elephants. Truly an unforgettable experience!
