Excellent! Noel was so kind and knowledgeable. He could sense when we were tired and ready to go home for the day, so he would give us options. He was always on time or ahead of our start time. He was very kind with us when we were running a few minutes late at breakfast. He was personable. Truly a wonderful human and a great guide.
He had answers to 99% of our questions, and if he didn’t know, he seemed to have looked it up and followed up with us the next day. It was very cool that he remembered all of this.
He navigated the parks so well, we were shocked at how he memorized the landscape of each place so well!!
He always had our lunches packed up and we were mesmerized by the fact that we only were with him to fill up gas once!
He seemed to have a great rapport with many of the other guides and that helped him guide us to key animal sightings.
He was a great driver. He went fast when we needed to get somewhere, but he was always cautious, often stopping to let other cars go around us if needed.
“Excellent. From the beginning, Karen helped us design a custom trip that fit our interests. For example, my partner is very interested in birds. We got birds. We were interested in avoiding crowds. We did, as much as possible. And the choice of Mkomazi was ideal. There were remarkably few glitches along the way, and Joachim addressed each of them with calm professionalism. The trip was as close to perfect as we could have imagined. From Karen’s initial consultations to Joachim’s expert guiding, we could not have asked for more.”
