Fantastic guide. Rafiki.
Joachim is special. He knows wildlife. He knows the parks. He found ways to avoid crowds. He taught us some Swahili. He navigated the awful roads (we learned about poli poli). My partner is especially interested in birds. He found and taught us about the many species in Tanzania. He handled the few glitches that occurred with calm professionalism. But mostly he is a thoroughly decent man. It was a pleasure to spend two weeks with 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.”
