Olifanten en dieren in het wild spotten in Kuiburi National Park - privémiddagtour

We got super star Bobby as our private guide and he was awesome. Very informative from start to finish on local Hua Hin and then the national park.. We had a great afternoon topped off by following a herd of 6 elephants incl a 4 week old cub. Great to see these rangers passionately protecting the wild elephants and buffalo. The day finished with a local family resturant serving super Thai food. Top recommendation

We had a private tour and was a amazing experience from start to finish . Service was excellent . We were picked up from our hotel , on time . Our guide Bobby was very professional but friendly and informative . They took every opportunity inside the park to find the elephants for us and we were not disappointed as we saw around 11 , including a baby one ! The meal after was delicious and they let you sit on your own to enjoy . Overall worth every penny and excellent service .

This was a really special trip. We were picked up from our hotel in a comfortable van by our driver Mr. Yonk. The drive to the park was easy and pleasant, and then we transferred to an open safari truck to drive through the park. It was very quiet in the park the day we visited - hardly any visitors at all. Looking at previous reviews, and based on my own experience of wildlife safaris in Africa, it's clear that you need a moderate slice of luck to be able to see the elephants - after all they are wild animals living in a big national park not a zoo enclosure - but the success rate seems to be pretty high overall. And we got really lucky. The first indication that we would have a lucky day was almost as soon as we entered the park we saw a great many hornbills flying overhead and through the trees. Apparently this is quite unusual - they are more usually seen later in the day, on leaving the park. We also saw other beautiful birds, such as a kingfisher. Within a few minutes we caught our first glimpses of a group of elephants, and as we tracked them we eventually ended up in the perfect spot, where we were able to exit the vehicle and view them pretty close-up on foot for at least 30 minutes. The landscape in the park is truly spectacular, and even though I've been lucky enough to see elephants in Africa up close many times, this was a uniquely beautiful experience that I won't forget, seeing these majestic and serene animals in this paradise. We also saw large numbers of gaur, which are also majestic and fascinating animals in their own right, but the elephants are certainly the stars of the show here. This was a really memorable trip that exceeded expectations. We also hired the same company to take us on a long excursion from our hotel on check-out day to Ayutthaya, and then onwards to the airport. Again they were outstanding with kind and professional service. Mr Yonk also took lots of photos on both days - both with my camera for family group shots, and with his own phone, which he shared with me afterwards. He really helped me get a great collection of memorable images from the two days.
