Anytime of the day, even very late at night. That gave us a very safe feeling. Friendly local guides, good and clean hotels and eco friendly resorts. Everything was perfect. To meet the tigers made of course everything complete. This tour gave us the time of our life and we look forward to make a new trip with this company again.
