A great guide leads to a great safari
Alex was outstanding! He had a great personality and sense of humor which added tremendously to our enjoyment of the trip. Alex also had great knowledge about the animals and even more than that, he showed an obvious love for the animals from rock pythons to tommys. He also had a deep knowledge of their behavior and habitat. Alex was amazing at spotting animals – to the point we called him binocular eyes.
An excellent driver, Dad felt comfortable falling asleep in the vehicle. Alex knew the answers to all the questions my father asked, including very specific and technical questions.
Alex was also quite deft at balancing the desires of my Mom, Dad and me. He was open to new experiences, including chasing down the director of a research center in the Serengeti. Getting back in the vehicle, he was excited “to have learned something new.”
Overall we could not have been happier with Alex.
“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.”
