Travel Co-Ordination & Customer Service
Your Dedicated Guides
With over 14 years of experience, Edy enjoys going out and spending time on Tours. Serengeti National Park is his favorite and he adores Cheetah’s, especially the sounds of a Cheetah cub and the Kingfisher is his bird of choice.
EMA joins this team bringing over 12 years of experience with him. He is partial to the Ngrongoro Conservation Area (NCCA), which does cover a lot more area than just the Crater. Like all guides he too has his favorites, with Giraffe and Lilac Breasted Roller being his choice. His favorite “sound in the wild” is that of the Hyena
Ennock is partial to Tarangire National Park with the Leopard being his favorite mammal. He speaks English and Spanish and is an integral part of our team. Ennocks favorite Bush Sound is that of the Bush Baby (Galago) and the pin tailed Whydah is his bird of choice
Lodging, vehicle and food
We know that the critical element distinguishing a good safari from an unforgettable one is, without a doubt, the tour guide. The lodging, vehicle and food are also critical, but if the guide is not personable, the safari will not be memorable.
Guides are always with you
The guides are with you throughout the entire safari and get to know you personally. They’ll soon figure out what your favorite animals are, which scenery interests you most, how much safari driving you want and at what pace. There are no constraints and you’re guaranteed not to end up with a guide who simply flies through the safari in an attempt to cram everything in. We leave those safari guides for the other companies!
Special itinerary
Many of our guests become ‘regulars’ and pay us more than one visit. We’re especially happy when this happens because we already know what their preferences are and can create an extra special itinerary for their return safari. Whether this is your first or fifteenth visit to Tanzania, we guarantee you won’t forget the clean, crisp scent of the arid African breezes, the crimson-orange sunrises over Ngorongoro Crater or the attentive care of your personal safari guide. We know you’ll take some wonderful memories of Africa with you that can sustain you until you’re able to join us again.
