FROM OUR CLIENTS
Our trip in October with Rick could not have been any better. Rick’s knowledge and the drivers/guides he employs, ensured that we saw the best of Zanzibar, the big five plus some on the Serengeti, the gorillas (one actually tried to tackle me), chimps in Uganda and finally the whale sharks at Chole Island.
Rick tailored the trip to our budget and the four of us had an experience that would not be matched by a travel shop, sights and dollar wise.

We had a fabulous expedition with Rick and we highly recommend Cielo Pictures and Expeditions to anyone considering a one of a kind experience in Africa.
Not only does Rick have extensive knowledge of Africa and its' people, but he has developed many strong relationships and has many friends who work hard to ensure his clients get top notch service. Be it the fantastic lodges, or the excellent drivers and game spotters, the strong network of friends and work partners made our safari and gorilla trek seem surreal.
Thank goodness for all the amazing photos and videos Rick took, as proof we weren't actually dreaming!!

I would like to give a big thank you to Cielo Pictures and Expeditions, (Rick) for the most amazing trip to Africa. This trip was way beyond my expectations. I didn't have to worry about anything, everything was taken care of by Rick, reservations, tours, meals, information.
His knowledge of the people, animals, and language of Africa made this trip so much more.
Rick is a great host and guide, making sure things were safe and everyone was comfortable, taking care of every detail to make this trip amazing.
I would recommend Rick for your travel to Africa and beyond.
