“My husband & I & our 2 girls did this activity on 26th January 25. It was such a wonderful experience. The weather was perfect & NP was beautiful, green & lush. We saw Lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, rhinos & lots of other animals. The pilot was absolutely brilliant & so informative. All staff involved were fantastic. And to add to the already wonderful morning, the full buffet breakfast was delicious & plentiful. The whole experience was just amazing & we would highly recommend to anyone considering this activity! It is a must do!!!”
