Personable, knowledgeable guide! Highly recommend.

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.

“Your service is excellent, plus the huge amount of information to educate us prior to the trip was greatly appreciated. Help with travel insurance was also very good. Your choices for lodging were fantastic, particularly Kitela Lodge, Pongwe Beach Resort and the Serena Zanzibar Hotel. All of the connections, such as meeting Joachim at the airport, and traveling with him for the remainder of the trip went very smoothly. Domestic air flights went well and our connections with Gallery Tours were very smooth as well. Our guide Joachim was a perfect fit for us and we were more than happy with his skills as a guide and birding expert.”
