George and Richard


We had the best drivers in the world!  George is warm and funny and always said "Hakuna Matata"  - "no problem" when we asked him to stop or go back or take a detour.

I liked to be ready early so I could talk to George while we were waiting. He gave me lessons in Swahili.  When I asked how to say "See you tomorrow"  he taught me
Tu ta o nana kesho.  He even wrote it on the van.  The kids loved it!  He answered and explained and translated and picked up supplies and pushed the wheelbarrow and played with the kids. He even has his own school called Little Giants.  It's bright and safe and happy - just  like George.  If you need a driver in Kenya, I give George my highest recommendation.  You can find him at www.geolyasafaris.com .AND he will make you laugh!

Richard is very smart and funny.  He has a "sense" about where to find the animals on safari.  When we had a close encounter with a cheetah, he said "do not move" and I didn't!  He said I was very courageous and I feel like he is family.  He believes that even if he has nothing, he can give you a smile for free. I give him my highest recommendation as a driver and a guide and I am honored to call him my friend. You can find him at
Good Hope Travel and Tours.
