“It was definitely a memorable experience and one well worth doing. We saw dozens of elephants and lots of babies too. Whilst there are many safari jeeps there it was orderly and respectful to the elephants. Just be prepared to wait awhile when you pay for your entry into the park. The wait is worth it though.”
