10/10 Excellent

The animal view tents are fantastic! Absolutely blew us away. I do wish we had a little longer to enjoy the view though, as once we checked in then did the walking tour and off to dinner we got back to the room and it was dark. If you have the option I would miss the walking tour on the day of arrival and do it the following morning after breakfast
