“ASANTE Fanuel for making my Safari an Amazing Experience”
Nobody can prepare you for a safari. Let me just say that the overland travel is bone rattling, bone shrill, organ trauma, muscle skeletal muscle shock as the mention – “an African Massage.” But it is any inconvenience that could be faced. Fanuel made this safari the journey of a lifetime. He studies and is knowledgeable on the wildlife, terrain, customs, people and how to register in and out of every park. Fanuel will spot and search wildlife animals that you would never have noticed. Excellent vision that he has!
Fanuel knows how to find the locations of what you need to see, the big five: lion, cape buffalo, elephants. Kill, and all other animals and birds. He knows where the Masai are and their villages top visit which is an extra $ 50 donation to the village, but worth every penny.
Asante for the amazing, unique and friendly experience.
