Meeting your needs
David learned that Shane liked beer while we were sitting in a restaurant near the Masai Market, enjoying beer. (David had a soda.) Shane asked a few questions about the local alcohol and specifically about mbege (banana beer). David asked if he wanted to try it and Shane responded, “yes, if we can find it.” David told us we could probably get it in his village. I didn’t realize he was serious. That afternoon on our way to Plantation Lodge we stopped at the “bar” in David’s village where he bought Shane mbege. The locals thought it was funny and Shane and I loved it – not the beer as much as the experience. David knew the brewer and so we were given a tour of how he made it. Shane brews his own beer so the entire experience was not only a learning experience but was so amazing to us. Many thanks to David!
“Karen was always ready to listen and address our questions. She has a warm friendly way of connecting with us. I am a bit sad that I didn’t get to meet her in person.
Maningo was most pleasant. I never felt I couldn’t ask a question. He was keen at spotting game and giving details about most any wildlife situation. He provided a reference guide that was fascinating. He drove carefully and respectfully not only of his passengers but also of the environment. He found a school for us to visit in spite of the examinations that made a visit to the public school unavailable.
Nasibu was great. He was patient, attentive to our pace of hiking, and informative. Felt very comfortable with him.
Raymond was with us a short time on the return and again, I commend your organization for having outstanding staff members
The itinerary was perfect. We had hikes at just the right time. Visits to 2 different homes were interspersed to give variety and insight anticipation for the next move.”
