Great friendly service!
We reached out to Lovely Safari when we decided to visit Tanzania. We told them what we were interested in, what our travel & hiking experience was, and the time frame we had for travel. They provided a suggested itinerary with cost and we adjusted it to fit our needs. Communication via email was easy, even with the time difference. Wire transferring the fees was a little confusing, but not the fault of Lovely Safari. We used Wise to pay the balance.
We communicated with Jesca primarily leading up to our trip, and then met Joseph at the airport. We didn't realize that he would be staying with us for the duration of our stay in Tanzania. We got along with him well, so it was a pleasant surprise! We experienced a few things like that which may have been lost in translation or different styles of communication...but everything worked out lovely.
Joseph set us up with our guides for Kilimanjaro, and even ended up hiking to the summit with us for his first time! We ended up being a little family exploring the country together, and we ended up nicknaming him Broseph, because he really did become our little brother! Joseph coordinated all of our travel, food, lodging, etc. We literally didn't have to do a thing or think about anything except enjoying our trip.
After hiking Kilimanjaro, he became our safari driver and guide, and this is where he really thrived! He is an excellent driver and is very knowledgeable about the national parks and the animals. He has great eyes for spotting the wildlife and he was able to find us every animal we could have hoped for! He then joined us for our flight to Zanzibar, where he connected us (and joined us!) for our ocean adventures.
Joseph is very easy going, and would be best guiding easy going travelers who like to smile and laugh. His English is wonderful and we would be lucky to reunite with him again in the future. Thank you Broseph! We love you!
