Kasimu hat uns mit seiner langjährigen Erfahrung und seiner humorvollem Art alles erklärt und uns zwei wundervolle und unvergessliche Tage beschert! Er hat immer sein Bestes gegeben um uns alle möglichen Tiere zu zeigen (was auch geklappt hat). Die Voi Wildlife Lodge war mit seinem Wasserloch, wo regelmäßig Elefanten zu sehen waren, auch seine Reise für eine Nacht wert. Alles in allem durften wir mit unserem Guide Kasimu zwei unvergessliche Tage erleben, wofür wir sehr dankbar sind. Eine klare Empfehlung der Safari, sowie des Tour-Guides Kasimu!
