Incredible
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.
“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.”
