Happy Customer

"We are delighted to have organized our 4 days safari trip to Serengeti and Ngorongoro crater with Rickshaw. It was a fantastic experience. They took attention to every detail to make our experience memorable. In this regard, our driver-guide Richard was a very friendly smart polyglot, the lodges were excellent, and the attention was exceptional. They made us feel that they care for us. We are looking forward to planning our next adventure with Rickshaw."

Regards, Ricardo and Veronique
