Great fun experience, definitely recommend - Wonderful experience with friendly, knowledgeable guides. We were collected from our hotel and the whole excursion was ran very smoothly. Our driver and guides were very happy to answer our many questions as we traveled around park and we learned about the agriculture, culture and landscape as well as lots about the wildlife. We finished with a lovely traditional dinner on the way back to the hotels. Great experience

Great trip - We were very lucky, saw about 30 elephants in two small groups and two herds; our guide said that was exceptional and he was hoping for maybe 5! Sometimes you may see none at all. Obviously the elephants are the star attraction but that aside this was a well organised trip to a beautiful place with lovely people, including our main guide plus the park guide and park driver. Also saw large numbers of the wild cows, and a flock of hornbills. Top trip.

Great half day out, relaxing. - From Pick up to drop off our guides were prompt, friendly and full of information. Got to see a few Elephants, maybe 16, and got some very nice pictures thanks to a good camera. As with all natural wild animal excursions, sightings are never guaranteed bur we got fairly lucky. Dinner was traditional Thai and very tasty.

Seamless experience with beautiful nature. - We were picked up by a nice guide who spoke good English. Drived almost two hours to the national park, where pickups with space for 6 passengers, were ready to drive us on an approximately two hour round into the national park. We saw the first elephant already after a short time and only 5m from the car. Eventually we saw over 100 gaur and 20 elephants, as well as local reefs and reefs. Great viewpoints along the way where you can usually see animals and take great pictures. Some rain on the way, but got borrowed umbrella and had with rainponcho, so it was no problem. On the way back we stopped after about 30 minutes at a restaurant where dinner was ready. Various tasty local dishes, although maybe slightly small portions. If you love a beautiful nature experience with a great chance to see exotic animals in their right habitat then we will definitely recommend this trip!

Lots of elephants to see - I was so happy to see elephants in the wild. Not just one but so many in different areas. Not always the case but I was very lucky.

Nice safari, good guide - Very nice safari despite being very hot, but close to missing elephants. At the last moment an elephant appeared at the water hole at the starting point. Very close! Very nice guide.

Guided tour - Guide explaining detail, easy to understand and in a friendly way Guide took time to find us the elephants, eventhough we did not see a lot of animals but the ride to the park felt like a real safari.

All About The Elephants - This is really a half day to see wild elephants. A few other interesting birds and a dinner at the end, but if you don't get good elephant sightings then it would be a real busy. We were lucky enough to see plenty (about 19) hence the review.

No elephants! - We didn't get to see any elephants on the trip, which is obviously never going to be guaranteed. However, the main complaint is that instead of driving around trying to find them (which is what we were expecting), we simply got out at viewing points to look into the distance to see if any appeared. Even if they had, they would have been difficult to really see, and certainly not the close up experience that the promotional images lead you to believe and that we have enjoyed on other tours. The scenery was lovely to be fair, and we enjoyed a nice traditional dinner on the way back, but that is not why we booked this particular trip.
