Touring with Micheal, an excellent and experienced guide.
Touring with Micheal The high light on my tour of 12 days was mainly for primate trekking and cats l used Ngorongoro tours. Michael was our tour guide very helpful and knowledgeable. All accommodations, trekking, game drives - all well organized making the experience relaxing and enjoyable. The chimpanzees and gorilla encounters were unforgettable. Michael did a fantastic in providing options and suggestions for the group to have a wonderful experience. He even provided and extra game drive to see if we can catch more animals in the wild like Lions, Elephants Hippos and others . All in the group truly felt supported and cared for every step of the way. Highly recommended Ngorongoro tours for anyone looking for a wonderful and worry free African adventure.

Couldn’t imagine someone better
Andy is a very hardworking kind reliable tour operator. When I emailed Andy about suggestions to add to the Safari itinerary and other questions, I got a very quick response with adjustments for my liking. For him it was very important that our safari was a great succes. With his experience and guidance I got to see the most beautiful sights. Doing a safari can be very expensive but my safari with Andy is money well spend! I very much recommend him.
