Safari was amazing! We stayed at a beautiful resort and got to see 4 of the big 5 (Elephant, Buffalo, Rhinos, and Lions). They did have leopards but they were not out when we drove around. I absolutely loved getting to see the animals roam around and move freely in their space – so different from seeing in a zoo.
