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.
“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.”
