Thanks to Valentin, we had an exceptional trip to Kenya. He is very attentive to the needs and expectations of the travelers he accompanies.
He enabled 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'll be going on our next safari with him!
