It was an incredible experience, Daniel, in addition to being charming, an exemplary guide, explained a lot of information to us and took care of absolutely everything.He made the car trip super enjoyable and fun, upon arrival at the park he asked us what animals we preferred to see and went to look for them where they usually are. We saw everything we wanted to see and several times it came closer so we could see them better.The hotel where we spent the night was beautiful and super comfortable, everyone was very friendly.In short, it has been a fantastic experience and we would repeat it with the same company, yes, with Daniel as a guide.Posted on Magnus BVerified RECOMMEND — Highly professional and supportive teams Booked both our Kilimanjaro trip and safari through Usambara. Both hwve been incredible! The Kili team were highly professional (especially Goodluck), happy, friendly and supportive. The porters even came to check if we were OK since we spent slightly longer time on the summit-day — we felt very welcome and safe with the guys.On the safari, we had the best experience with the coolest guy (Simbo), who is also working with National Geographic across entire Africa. He sees everything from lizards to birds to lions, elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, zebras, etc. High mood and spirit even though animals doesn’t always come easy.
