    I had a wonderful Safari! Juma Issa was the absolute best guide - professional, knowledgeable and friendly. I still can’t figure out how he spotted so many animals! He and the Safari exceeded my expectations and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone wishing to see not just the big five but much more! Thank you and a big thank you to Juma Issa!

    Our guide/driver, Ombeni was excellent. He was able to spot animals while driving that we had trouble seeing even after he pointed them out. He was just marvelous.
