A+++++++++ Joachim is simply wonderful at his job.
We spent 13 days with Joachim and we enjoyed every single day. He is a kind, funny, smart person who listened to us and shared the joy of discoveries with us. He is knowledgeable about the parks themselves as well as all of the wildlife in the area. We are still impressed by how well he knows these incredibly vast parks! He is a very safe driver. From the moment he picked us up, he took care of our every need. He made sure that the truck was clean and had every amenity. He remembered what wildlife we had seen and took us to see new things. He provided information about all things, and at a pace that we found very comfortable. We are people who are the ‘doers’ in our circles. After knowing Joachim just a few hours, we both relaxed and let him take the lead. He is so capable and reliable. It really made the trip wonderful for us. We didn’t worry about a thing – we just focused on discovering and having fun. We truly enjoyed our time with Joachim. We cannot imagine a better guide.
“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.”
