I can’t say enough about how great Alex was. He was kind, thoughtful, humble, knowledgeable, funny, easy going, and seemed to anticipate what we wanted and needed. As a group of four women, we always felt safe. He gave us advice on how to handle different situations such as some of the more aggressive souvenir vendors which was perfect. Anne had been to Kenya and had seen four of the “big five,” so, daily, she told Alex, how she was expecting to see that fifth animal, a leopard. He handled all of our ribbing with grace, and we did indeed, get to see more than one leopard! How he could spot some of the animals was amazing. He was always very careful driving, too. I hated saying good bye to him!
“Excellent. From the beginning, Karen helped us design a custom trip that fit our interests. For example, my partner is very interested in birds. We got birds. We were interested in avoiding crowds. We did, as much as possible. And the choice of Mkomazi was ideal. There were remarkably few glitches along the way, and Joachim addressed each of them with calm professionalism. The trip was as close to perfect as we could have imagined. From Karen’s initial consultations to Joachim’s expert guiding, we could not have asked for more.”
