    I am deeply disappointed with the walking safari. We did a boat ride earlier in the evening and it was magical. We loved it so much that decided to do a boat ride again the next morning and include the walking safari. Given how steep the price is, the overall experience of the walking safari was horrible. We were taken to the crescent island, not the sanctuary. No one cared to explain either. All we saw were few zebras and impalas.
