Number one safari guide in Africa!
A knowledgeable guide on safari – really knows about and is passionate about sharing his knowledge on all animals. An excellent driver in some challenging conditions, that vehicle can really handle some work with Hamidu at the wheel.
Serafina F
Amazing 4-day safari!
We had an incredible safari with our guide Hamidu, who was knowledgeable and friendly throughout. We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Eyasi, each offering unique wildlife and scenery. The highlight was meeting the Hadzabe tribe — a truly special experience. Highly recommended!
Leroy G
Unforgettable
I highly recommend Silence of Nature. We were able to find all the animals. Even the elusive leopard. Thanks to their high level of experience. They provided three staff members. All three were professional, polite, thoughtful, funny, and experts. Simba was the guide and he was full of knowledge about the Serengeti and all the animals in it. Victor was the driver and he was great at navigating the terrain.
