A fantastic experience, really well executed from start to finish - We are just arrived from a fantastic program with this team. It was a great varied experience. This review is essentially for The MICE team and I need to thank them for enabling us to have such an enjoyable time. Unlike other companies where We have heard they charge too much rather than their services, these people always ensured we have the good tour for good price. We would definitely use MICE team again and recommend them to friends. Thank you team.

Disappointing service - Arrived an hour late at Yala due to late pick up & other delays so only 1hr 20min drive before park closed for 2hrs for lunch! Brief afternoon drive before we had to rush back to port. We had paid for a full day safari but spent more time waiting around than looking for animals! No separate wildlife guide provided - driver was in separate enclosed cab & gave us information when stopped but difficult to hear. Saw some elephants which was great but no leopards.
