The experience of a lifetime!

From the beginning, we felt very comfortable with Alex. He has a very calm and welcoming personality. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining. We liked starting our safari days early, with the beautiful morning light. This led to long days in the vehicle, but we never tired of Alex. He kept a pace that was perfect for us, and we had the general feeling that we were just experiencing nature and what was going on with the wildlife (although I’m sure Alex did his best to position us in areas where he expected some activity!) We saw truly amazing animals, activities, vistas – more than we ever expected. We enjoyed our conversations with Alex about life in Tanzania, culture, religion, education, etc. His knowledge of the animals we encountered, even birds, is outstanding. Since you see some of the same types of animals multiple times, we had some interesting conversations on their behavior and motivations. He catered to my desire to log all of the species we encountered, which included 35 animal species, 78 bird species (unbelievable that he knew all of these, or was able to quickly identify with his book), and 3 reptiles! Alex clearly has many friends among the other guides and staff in the lodges/camps. He is funny and fun to be around. We feel very lucky to know him and have had him as our guide.

“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.”
