INES, KENYA 2022

Thanks to Valentin, we had an exceptional trip to Kenya. He is very attentive to the needs and expectations of the travellers he accompanies.
He allowed us to experience unique and privileged moments up close to the wildlife (always with the utmost respect for the animals), and we also improved our wildlife photography thanks to his invaluable advice.

In short, we know we willl be going on our next safari with him!

JEREMY, KENYA 2021 & ZAMBIA 2022 & NAMIBIA 2023

I have loved my safaris with Valentin so much that I now rely on him alone. His friendliness, experience and photographic eye make all the difference.
I highly recommend going on safari with this outstanding guide.

MELANIE, NAMIBIA 2023

We met Valentin in 2016 during our first safari in South Africa, when he was a trainee in a lodge, and we were delighted to learn all about the flora and fauna. With his passion for Africa, and in particular for animals, we couldn't have wished for a better guide to accompany us on our honeymoon in 2019.
In short, as you can see, we recommend Valentin 100% and cannot wait to organise another trip with him!

THIBAUD , ZAMBIA 2023

South Luangwa Safari in Zambia in June 2023.
Incredible experience, exclusive places with few people around the animals for an immersive and unique experience. He's a real animal and photo/video enthusiast who gives constructive and enriching information and advice. It was a wonderful experience, with lots of fun and good humour shared over the course of 2 weeks. We look forward to our next trip together!

Special expedition with TV

Take a look back at a fascinating quest to track down Africa's rarest cat: the black leopard.
For several days, the TF1 teams followed me on a safari in Kenya, where I accompanied two photographic clients in search of this mysterious predator.
