We can’t say enough positive things about our guide Barney. He was knowledgeable, friendly, interested in our questions and opinions and managed to pique our interest in things that we didn’t know we wanted to know about. Despite some long days, he was always enthusiastic and prepared for the next adventure and was a particularly apt role model of hakuna matata. He was a skillful driver over some very bumpy roads, even as he scouted out wildlife hiding both near and far. We learned a lot about Tanzanian culture and recent history from him, as well as animal, plant and insect habitats and their symbiotic relationship. He did an excellent job creating special moments for us and gave us a glimpse into how people live and work during our brief stay in Arusha. He was a comfortable and fun person to be around and our friends and family have heard many Barney stories as we’ve shared tales from our trip. Asante sana, Barney.
“We had a wonderful experience. We did not know what to expect going into organizing this trip but we felt very well supported and felt that the trip was tailored to our needs, interests and preferences. Thanks to the videos, the FAQ pages, the summary document and the videochat we had with Karen ahead of departing we were fully prepared for the trip and didn’t have any surprises.
Our guide Willy was phenomenal. We had a lot of fun driving around with him and we really appreciated his good nature, his knowledge, his passion for the game drives and animals, and his excellent driving skills.”
