Lots of smiles from our family

We took the family (kids aged 9 and 13) we had a quad and buggy and we had the best day! Great fun off reading on the quads and buggy - not overly challenging but enough for us to have a good varied experience. Loved swimming in the waterfall at the end. Highlight of our holiday. Would totally recommend

Our couple buggy ride with Rakesh at Bel ombre nature reserve

Very warm Welcome from Anourada the receptionist and Rakesh our guide. Despite it being Sunday morning, we had the whole buggy for ourselves ... We did the safari 4x4 ride throughout the reserve. We saw deers and endemic species of trees, with paille en queues and Cateau Vert birds flying majestically all through the ride. Even the small hike to the waterfall was enjoyable..I definitely recommend a safari trip.. and we are going back soon for the other activities proposed there.. Once again thumbs up!

Don‘t miss out on it!

An unforgettable experience! We made a tour with the quads and explored the nature park. We were able to admire a hidden waterfall and even drive through a herd of deer! Everything was super organized and we felt very safe - helmets were provided including hair protection. Especially our guide Akash did a great job! Thank you very much! We can only recommend it!

Excellente aventure

Expérience très enrichissante en famille nous avons pu découvrir la réserve avec les cerfs les chauves-souris les singes…. Et aussi des essences de bois notamment le bois d’ébène, essence protégée. Le guide est expérimenté et connaît bien son domaine. Mon mari a pu conduire le buggy et ainsi nous avons pu admirer de merveilleux paysages. Je recommande cette expédition en famille en solo ou en couple

Great trip, very well priced - we loved it

We absolutely loved the quad biking experience, and felt it was very reasonably priced. We had one quad bike between the 2 of us, which was great as we both got a turn to drive it, but were able to chat and take photos throughout the experience too. The stop off at a waterfall to swim was wonderful, definitely worth doing!
