Our trip of a lifetime!
Ray, our expert guide, was very thoughtful of our needs and a most caring and warm person. He was punctual, well organized and an extremely skilled driver. We always felt safe with him at the wheel. We were very impressed by his knowledge of the flora and fauna in the parks and overall familiarity with the terrain and the weather. It was most obvious that he had a genuine love of the environment and always held the welfare of the animals at the forefront of any decision. He appeared to have an innate sense of animal behaviour.
“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.”
