"It was my dream to finally see the animals of the savannah in their environment — free. My dream came true with this beautiful experience. The Safari was impeccably organized by Francis who accompanied us with his enthusiasm and smiles. And what about our tireless driver — super! Didn't make us lose a single Simba! An experience I recommend that will remain in your heart because the African sickness exists ❤️"

There are no words to describe it. You must live it. Thank you Francis, you have let Kenya enter our hearts. See you next year for another magnificent safari."
Read story →"Francis accompanied us on every excursion we took during our trip, from safaris in the parks to boat trips or other well-known sites. Under Francis' guidance you will truly appreciate the beauties of Kenya thanks to his vast knowledge of the places and people you will meet, as well as his great friendliness and helpfulness. He has perfect knowledge of the Italian language and will try to satisfy your every request! Eventually he will become more of a rafiki (friend) than just a guide."

He took us to discover the villages, made us eat the best crabs in the world, showed us enchanting and unobtainable places like that jewel of Robinson's island. The best thing is that Francis opens his heart and makes you discover what the real Africa is — it is not limited to the standard excursions offered by everyone. We can't wait to see you again, you're great!"

He explained and gave all the information to those of us curious to know everything. Like a sentinel, always attentive to spotting animals in the distance. Speaks Italian as well as English. Next trip I already know who to go to."

We saw the Big 5, Mt Kilimanjaro at sunset, met the Maasai tribe, watched elephants roam near our resort, walked through a meadow of butterflies up Madando Rock, and stood on an old volcano. Francis had us in top-tier resorts. Traveling with Francis as our guide was like traveling with family. His expertise is unmatched! We journeyed from Nairobi to Tsavo to Mombasa."

He made us savor the typical village day — discovering mothers preparing snacks for children, boys climbing palm trees to collect coconut wine, and the rhythm of grinding corn flour. We visited the ancient ruins of Gede and the wonder that is Robinson Island. We met the artisans of the wood factory and their unspeakable talent. Intense days with an exceptional guide — never tired, always kind, and ready to explain everything in perfect Italian!"
