Alex Helped Make My Dream Trip True!
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 staff. Casey was extremely responsive in planning the trip. I had certain things I did and didn’t want to do, he tailored our experience accordingly (and with keeping our budget in mind). The trip was perfectly proportioned, mostly because of him. Our guide on the ground, Wilfred, spent 12 days with us. We couldn’t have asked for someone better. We became comfortable companions, easily sitting together in silence over long drives or telling stories during dinner. He didn’t wait for us to ask something, he anticipated our needs. When he saw we didn’t finish our lunch boxes, he asked us what we liked and didn’t like. He made sure to relay the information to the hotels and we finished out lunches going forward. He saw I had an itch to get into the Wildebeest migration. Even though it was far away and our chances of finding it could be small, he made sure it happened. The staff set everything apart, especially when we compared it to our tour companies we saw in the area.”
