“The track opened up to vast grasslands where a herd of up to thirty elephants were grazing just before nightfall. It was truly magical to watch. All of the staff was extremely hospitable, encouraging and kind. I would like to say a huge thank you! I will miss the serenity and lushness of this special place! I will definitely return sometime in the future.” Jasmine (NSW)
