Summary:
Primate World Safari was great! The staff (George & Alex) were great. George was especially knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts about the country. He mainly drove a group of 5 boys ages 13 and kept them happy on some long car rides from one town to the next. Jackson was always available via phone to answer questions and offer helpful advice.
The trip was quick and therefore there was a lot packed into one day especially when the car rides were long (sometimes 5/6 hours due to traffic). Sometimes that was rigorous on us. If I were to do the trip again, I would allow for some additional relaxation time in the schedule. The sights were great. The early morning safari was especially fun for all of us. We were supposed to do the chimp trek but we were all so exhausted by that point and we could not bear the thought of waking up at 4am again.
We would def. recommend Primate World Safari and Jackson!
