All you could ask for in a guide — fun, friendly and knowledgeable!
Elly made the trip more than just a safari. He was very patient and willing to share his knowledge of Tanzanian culture and Swahili language, etc. We asked a lot of questions, and he was always approachable and willing to listen. He would ask us what our preferences were and he was a very safe driver. We felt very comfortable the entire time. But it was his ability to make us laugh that made the trip even more memorable for us.
“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.”
