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.
“You did a great job making sure you understood what kind of trip we wanted while planning our itinerary, and I was just as impressed when we got to Tanzania. I feel that the guide can often “make or break” a safari– and I felt Said did a great job. He spotted many animals and did not rely on radio contacts with other guides.”
