With a love for East Africa, nature and people, our safari guides constantly exceed our guests’ expectations. Of course, we are very proud of that. However, we also make sure that only the best of the best guide you through your safari experience.
We put every member of our team through a rigorous selection process where we test candidates’ local knowledge, natural expertise and professional qualifications. On top of that, we hold regular trainings to deepen their knowledge, so that they can answer each and every question you might have.
