Elly was fantastic. He’s simply a marvelous human. He helped us with our Swahili, helped us negotiate language and social situations in the town where we had spent our early childhood (Shirati, Rorya District, Mara). He noticed that I was interested in trees and plants, so he made it a point to show us plants and name the trees. He stopped for every bird we wanted to see. He was tireless in helping us find lions and leopards and elephants, etc. He entered our banter and became our friend. Also, he’s an incredible driver.

I should also mention Noel, who drove us around Arusha on our first day. He, too, was a marvelous guide and a great driver.

“We had a fantastic experience throughout the planning process and during our Safari. It was clear from the start how knowledgable Karen was. The attention to detail to ensure we had the best possible experience was obvious and much appreciated. I had full confidence going into our Safari that we had picked the right company to give us exactly the Safari experience we were looking for.”
