“Our first big Wow! goes to our guide Enriche aka "Nicha" who lived up to our expectations. The accommodation was great! We were surrounded by a magnificent landscape. The park is splendid! And the experience of the footbridges very pleasant. However, the entrance fee is very high for these activities ... fortunately Vista Safari had the wonderful idea of changing the planning of the activities to save us money! The road is very beautiful!”
