Noel is one of the kindest human beings I ever met. We loved and respected him very much. I cannot imagine a better guide. He was very patience, well informed, passionate about his work. He know exactly how to make our wildlife viewing an exceptional experience. He had a nice sense of humor and overall a joy to be with. When our 4×4 broke down he made an extraordinary effort to get us to the lodge safely and we had another vehicle by the next morning. That was impressive. It was so hard to say goodbye.

Noel is amazing! He’s very knowledgeable about the wildlife and very friendly. We had a blast with him. He heard about a leopard being down the hill from the lodge and found us after lunch to see if we wanted to go try to find it. We were so excited because we had yet to see one so of course we said yes. Just thinking that would interest us made us happy and we were able to see the leopard. We saw all The Big 5. We were strangers when we met and friends when we left, we enjoyed learning about his life and family.

Noel was amazing. He made sure we got to see all the animals and visit as many places as possible.

Thank you to Noel, who was our guide. He is an incredible kind and kind person. We managed to see all the animals we wanted because of his patience. He works passionately and loves his job. We really appreciated the feedback on the animals we observed.

NOEL DID A GREAT JOB. Guides have to navigate the personalities of the guest while answering every sort of question and road while assuring the guest sees everything. Noel succeeded in all areas. We knew he could not be expert in all fields, but he was close and still not afraid to go to his reference material when needed.

Noel was overall excellent- listened to our concerns and acted on them. Focused well on our time on game drive. Knowledgeable about the area and wildlife. Concerned for our well being and safety. Impressed with his concern for the park’s well being. Good sense of humor, learned how to read our group.

Throughout our time with Noel, he was thoughtful, helpful and informative about flora and fauna as well as cultural issues. He laughed along with us and made exceptional efforts for us to be able to see the wildlife we have come to see in Tanzania. If he didn’t have an immediate answer to one of our questions we could be sure that he would research and get back to us. He was always concerned about our wellbeing and comfort. He was clearly proud of his country and excited to introduce it to a group of strangers. We can’t say enough about Noel’s impact on the success of our trip. He was exceptional!

Noel Tenga was informed, responsive, knowledgeable, accommodating. He worked with us to make the trip meet our family’s needs. He was happy to talk with us about Tanzania and broader elements of our visit. Noel was a very pleasant person, warm, and supportive. He was a careful driver, respectful to other drivers, to animals, and to the environment. He stopped to collect trash from the road in the Serengeti. Noel provided supportive companionship throughout trip. He was well able to work with all in our group, forming personal connections, from grandparents through teenagers, each with individual interests, concerns, and styles. Overall, we would be very pleased to travel with Noel again.

Noel was our guide, game spotter, naturalist, had a wealth of knowledge, and he is also a genuinely good person.

We are not the easiest people to spend ten days with in a car. Noel is a magician. He knew where to take us, when to take us there, how to keep us entertained, and when to give us time for a little quiet. He always made sure that we were on board with his agenda, and when we needed a quick change, he immediately agreed. I can’t say enough about what an incredibly special man he is—we laughed with him and enjoyed his company for a few nights at dinner. We learned about his family and his life in Tanzania. Although he told us with his words how much he loves his job and the people he meets, his actions spoke ten times louder. He is truly one of the best ambassadors for the country there could be.
