Private Guide Experiences

Enjoy the best that East Africa has to offer with an expert, experienced and local guide by your side. Available for the entirety or a portion of your trip, your private guide will ensure that your safaris are optimised in terms of the game viewing experience but also the educational and cultural experience. Our very own Alisa Karstad lives in Kenya and holds a First Class Honours degree from Trinity College, Dublin in Zoology as well as being a certified safari/nature guide with the Field Guides Association of Southern Africa. Alisa is also particularly focussed on and involved in conservationism and local community work.

Should you or your group require 24/7 guidance and assistance, please talk with our Experience Designers about expert private guide and chaperone options on your epic journey to ensure that the trip is optimised and entirely effortless from your perspective.

As well as enjoying an active outdoor lifestyle, Alisa has a passion for wildlife photography, birdwatching and travel. She is always up for the next adventure; and some of her most memorable feats in Eastern Africa to date have included; swimming with whale sharks and tracking lemurs in Madagascar; hiking up the active Erta Ale volcano in the Danakil Depression or amongst hundreds of Gelada baboons in the Simien Mountains of Ethiopia; collaring elephants for conservation work in the Masai Mara; chimp tracking and climbing the active Nyiragongo volcano in the DR Congo; trekking to see endangered mountain gorillas multiple times in Rwanda; climbing Mt Kenya and scuba diving with bottlenose dolphins and green turtles in Kenya... the list goes on! Alisa is a great source of knowledge for any of our clients who are particularly interested in planning a safari that gives back to local communities and wildlife conservation organisations. She is also able to privately guide guests wishing to avail of this service.
