John, our driver and guide, was excellent with a great knowledge of the mammals and good knowledge of the birds we encountered. His driving was safe and unexciting (just what I want from an East African driver). We had many interesting discussions comparing Kenyan and Tanzanian culture. The safari car was a fine beast with power points for charging our assorted gadgets.
The only hiccup was on the last day when John didn't realise we were owed lunch. This was sorted out without fuss however and we were fed and delivered back to our Nairobi hotel in good shape. We were collected on time the next morning and dropped at our bus back to Tanzania.
You won't regret booking a safari with Charles and his colleagues at Naturepoint Africa.
