Amazing trip of a lifetime!
Nasibu was a VERY EXPERT driver on difficult terrain. We felt very safe with him. He was able to spot animals with the simplest clues of faraway flicks of ears in the grass! We had some unique experiences enabling us to see some beautiful and elusive animals up close, including cheetahs, leopards, and lions. His sense of timing was great – we were able to see a lion hunt (from a bit of a distance) and we were able to see a MASSIVE (thousands at one site) migration of wildebeests – we waited perhaps a half hour or so before seeing the first wildebeests crossing (we understand that many wait all day to see this). Because of his skill and expertise, we saw so many wonderful animals up close and personal. Nasibu was also so respectful of animals, and especially not to overcrowd them because that could mean the difference between a successful hunt for prey or not.
“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.”
