Mike, our tour guide was fantastic. Friendly, very knowledgeable, funny, and a pleasure to meet.
The trip to/from Aquila was beautiful, and with plenty of sightseeing along the way it was very exciting and memorizing.
The safari speaks for itself, what an experience. Definitely recommend this tour for someone who wants the safari experience, but, does not have time to go on a 3 or 4 day one.

Excellent 1 day trip. The guides were very polite and knowledgeable. We were able to see the wild animals up close and definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for 1 day trip. They also have the option to stay overnight but we didn’t have time

We just finished the tour, and it was great! My wife and I enjoyed spending time with Mike as much as the tour itself. We have booked a wine tasting tour in two days and Mike will undoubtedly be the highlight of the tour. He is so friendly, helpful, and knowledgable that I wish we could take Mike with us all over the world. I would give 20+ stars if that was an option.
Thank you so much for an incredible time Mike.
