  • Hello everyone, I'm Jeff Hyer, and I'm a safari ADDICT! I got my first taste for the safari life almost a decade ago when I studied abroad in Kenya, and ever since I caught safari fever I've been exploring East Africa every chance I get. Having now been on over a dozen safaris, I created this channel to share what I've learned over the years so you can optimize your safari planning experience.
    In today's safari insights video, I'm answering the first two questions everyone asks themselves when starting to trip plan. HOW and WHO should you book? There are 100s of tour companies in East Africa to choose from, so what do you look for when making the best choice for you?
    Later in the video, I'll be sharing my top recommendation for who to book a safari with! I'll be sharing a the story about how I discovered them, and how this very special tour operator has become my personal favorite in East Africa.

    I tried Gorilla O’clock after watching a ton of your videos and realising I couldn’t book a trip on my own. Communication was good in the beginning and we started building an itinerary. I had asked for some quotes and things went down south and my last communication didn’t get a response. I ended up booking my Safari via another tour operator so it all worked out and I’m very much looking forward to. I look forward to watching more of your journey. Your videos have been a wealth of information in booking my trip 😊

      So glad my content has been helpful and inspirational as you prepare for your own safari adventure! Thank you for watching and supporting the videos I produce, I so appreciate it!
      I’m surprised to hear that GO didn’t respond to your last message, as they’re usually very prompt! Either way, I’m glad you’re all set to travel and you’re looking forward to your trip!

    Very helpful, thank you. As a solo traveler who's trying to put this together on my own, this is a daunting task...

    I understand you are connected to Gorilla O’Clock( you only find this out at the end) , but in the description you say recommendations and all you really did here was an ad for one company.

    • @Jeff_Hyer
      @Jeff_Hyer  Před 7 měsíci

      Hi there 👋🏼 I hope you found this video helpful in your safari planning 😄
      If you decide to reach out to Gorilla O’Clock, they’d be happy to assist you in your safari planning experience. If you’re looking to explore other options, I’d be happy to recommend some more preferred operators. Let me know how I can help 👍🏻
      All the best,
      Jeff H

    Jeff, I've enjoyed many of your videos but this is not one of them. I'm guessing that you earn some sort of commission for recommending this company...that is disappointing.

    • @Jeff_Hyer
      @Jeff_Hyer  Před 25 dny

      I don’t understand why you’d be disappointed? As a safari travel advisor, many people look to my opinions and insights for safari travel, especially tour operator recommendations. In this video I feature a reputable company that I confidently know will provide a positive and safe experience for safari travelers. They aren’t just colleagues I work with, but friends I support.
      If this isn’t the video for you, that’s okay, I hope you find value in the other content I share on this channel 🙌🏼
