5.00What a wonderful time we had under t he guidance of Madu our driver/guide! We were a little concerned about booking an off the cruise excursion but no worries at all. Communication was excellent and we had no difficulty locating the tour operators. The elephant sanctuary was an amazing experience which Madu timed to perfection getting us front row seats. Once we entered the park we saw Elephants crocs monkeys and lots of bird life with informative info from our guide. Do not hesitate to book this experience but my advice is to request Madu. His smile will brighten your day! A
