Barney is INCREDIBLE. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and has a fantastic eye to find the animals hiding in the Serengeti. At the very beginning he asked us what we wanted to see and was more than willing to sit tight while I took an absurd amount of pictures and video of the wildlife. Not only is he fantastic at his job, he is also an incredibly kind human being. I cannot recommend him enough. We also did the walking safari with Andrea, Barney, and a ranger. It was so different than doing game drives in the vehicle. You get to see the smaller things and have the fantastic experience of walking through nature. At the end we were surprised with cocktails on top of a huge rock that overlooked the Serengeti and was perfect timing to see the sunset. Definitely a must do when visiting Lemala Kuria Hills.
“I really appreciated how straightforward and simple the process was—from putting together the itinerary, all the way through the lead-up to the trip. The initial planning call, along with the payment plan, then the pre-trip call to make sure everyone was on the same page (including the helpful YouTube videos)—it all felt seamless. And the best part was truly the expertise and professionalism of Wilfred. He did a wonderful job not only showcasing his knowledge of wildlife and Tanzanian culture, but also really took the time to get a sense of what we wanted out of the trip—even when, at times, we admittedly weren’t the most vocal, simply because we didn’t always know the breadth of possibilities.”
