We are fortunate to get Tata as our guide for 2 days. His expert knowledge of the forest and dedication to the preservation of nature made a permanent impression on us. We even pick up tips on nature photography.

Very good guide, good luck with weather and animals. What more could one want?

Could have been more elephants, but that is nature for you.

Tata is therefore highly recommended. Always knew something to say to any questions he got asked.

We had a great 2-days wildlife tour in Khao Yai National Park with beautiful nature and exciting encounters of elephants, gibbons, hornbills, deers, serow, porcupines, macaques and many bird species. Our guide, Apple, was great at spotting the animals, providing details of how they live, gender etc.

Highly recommended :-)

Excellent! Well managed park with emphasis on safety and welfare of animals - strict on selfish rule-breakers. Had a fantastic time and saw lots of mammals, birds and even some reptiles thanks to excellent guides with sharp eyes!

My family (including 2 toddlers!) had such a wonderful time with Lek these 2 days. He was so patient with us and catered to what we wanted. We saw so many animals including elephants! Such an awesome tour to see God’s creation. We had lots of fun trekking and spotting animals that Lek found. Highly recommend tour! 2 days was just nice for us, if my kids were older we would have gone for more days.

Great tour, with great guide Ryan (Luang) who really gave us the ultimate jungle experience. He knows everything about the jungle and has a great eye for animal spotting. We saw nearly all animals living in the beautiful national park of Khao Yai. Two day tour is sufficient to see everything you need to within a relax tempo.

The tour was great! Our guide was excellent. Lovely and very informative. She took extra effort to find animals for us and made it a great experience.

We really enjoyed. Especially the night safari.

The registration and the customer service was very useful and responsive
