What People Are Saying

There are many wonderful Christian speakers available across our great country, but there’s isn’t anyone doing what Fledge Fiamingo is doing. This African game ranger has a repertoire of fascinating, insightful, and interactive African wildlife messages pointing back to our Creator. But his South African accent coupled with his smiling, upbeat delivery will have you on the edge of your seats!

Tom Harrison - Chairman of the Board, Cross Trail Outfitters

I’ve invited Fledge to speak at multiple events and he does a fantastic job every time. He is an enthusiastic speaker whose ability to hold the attention of his audience is rivaled only by his skill of delivering powerful stories that illustrate prominent principles. I highly endorse Fledge as a speaker for your event.

Josh Melton - 12:2 Athens

Fledge came out and spoke to our VBS at our Jackson Lake Campus and was a HUGE hit! He spoke amazing truth to our K-5th graders, and to our adults as well! He made such an impact that other staff members wanted him at their events too! Fledge has a heart for Jesus and people that is truly inspiring and you won't regret inviting him to speak at your event!

Brandon Daniel - Youth Minister Eastridge Community Church

Fledge has been invited to speak with the organization that I serve on three separate occasions. Our college students specifically asked for them to visit again. Fledge is professional and engaging.

Curtiss Gibbs - Christian Veterinary Mission

We have invited Fledge multiple times over the years to speak. His inspiring messages have been Biblically sound, engaging, and fun for all ages. Hands down he is the best speaker/teacher I have ever met. I would highly recommend inviting Fledge to speak at your next event.

Weldon Davis - Resident Director Johnson University

The Outdoors Network International's relationship with Fledge Fiamingo at Son Safaris now spans several years.  He has been a keynote speaker for our organization on numerous occasions where he shares the correlation between creation and God’s word. Most recently he has served in the capacity of EmCee for several of our national events. His faith in God, contagious energy, and love for people welcomes listeners in as he shares stories from his days as a safari ranger. I would highly recommend him as a friend and fellow servant of Jesus Christ. His personality will connect with people from all walks of life and all age groups." 

Bill Von Lanken - Executive Director, Outdoors Network International

We have had Fledge come and speak twice at our Men's Wild Game Feast. We cannot say enough about his ability to hold the audiences attention, his passion for people, and most importantly his love for the Lord!

Kasey Kuyper

Fledge spoke at our College Kickoff Retreat . He did a wonderful job. He kept our students engaged, and they enjoyed every second of it. Using his personal experiences in South Africa as well as a great multi-media presentation with amazing footage of African animals, Fledge communicated some profound truths about following Jesus to our students. If you are looking for someone to share Jesus with a group in a very unique way, Fledge is your man.

Donnie Holliday - Campus Minister UGA

I have heard Fledge several times, and I always learn from his lessons. I am a huddle leader for Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Apalachee High School, and Fledge brought his message during a special event for us. The students were engaged in his lesson and loved his presentation. I have witnessed him speak to young children, teens and adults- he always adapts his lessons based on the age of the audience. Fledge is amazing!

Tonya Crowe - Apalachee High School FCA

Son Safaris proved to be a great decision to have incorporated into our youth programming. Director Fledge Fiamingo is a strong man of God with a heart for Christ and a great love for people. Fledge's passion for sharing the love of the Lord through creation is powerful, timely, and creative. Fledge's presentations resonated with both our youth and our adult leaders. He even provided additional materials for small group discussion after each presentation. Ultimately, Fledge did an excellent job of teaching a difficult subject matter and placing the ancient story of lions and hyenas into modern day issues in our communities and in our faith journey. The AFUMC youth group loves Fledge, and considers Son Safaris to be a great gift and witness to the glory of God!

Josh Miles - Youth Minister Athens First UMC

Son Safaris is an awesome ministry! Fledge has a great way of showing how God's creation and God's word are so connected. Loved the trip to Africa as well!

Chris Portenier - Campus Minister NEO A&M College, Oklahoma

I was a cabin mom at North Georgia Christian Camp over the summer, and Fledge happened to be speaking the week that I was there. I can’t begin to describe the kind of work Christ is doing through this man. His messages were entertaining, so compelling, and challenging to the teens and adults. His story is heartrending and he is such a fantastic storyteller. Kids were talking all week long about how he helped them understand truths that they hadn’t understood before. Not only is he a phenomenal speaker, but he jumped right in with the kids! He laughed, played, and poured into the kids all week long like he was one of the cabin dads. It was the coolest. His passion for others and for these kids is obvious. He truly leads by example. You need to invite him for your event. He works not for man, but for the Lord and it shows.

Savannah - North GA Christian Camp

A one-of-a-kind, unashamedly God-sized ministry. I can't say enough about Fledge & Son Safaris. What a blessing and a pleasure to know this man first-hand. Don't pass up the opportunity to have Fledge come speak at one of your events, camps, retreats, etc.

Darrell Asche

Fledge came and spoke at my school's FCA one morning, and everyone loved it! I think everyone wishes he could've spoke longer or come for few consecutive weeks!"

Emily Kerr - Jefferson High School

Fledge is an awesome man of God working for God's glory. Fledge brought a powerful message and was submissive to the Holy Spirit who worked through him. Fledge's expertise in the field of study allowed him to capture the attention of all audiences and draw them into the scripture that did the work in lives. I am looking forward to working with Fledge and Son Safaris again in the future.

Fledge came out to speak to our young people about Son Safaris. We held two sessions, one for our Elementary and Middle School ages and a second group that included High School and College age young adults. Fledge connected excellent with both groups! He captivated them and held their interest, now all my youth want to go on a Safari!!! The great this is how he connected what Son Safaris does with God's creations and tracking the Lion of Judah, Jesus!!!!

Robbie Pate

I love this organization, and the heart behind it. Fledge is creative and relational in his message. He shares God's story, through the lens of creation. I would highly recommend this organization to anyone looking for missions, or a guest speaker!!!

Kevin Magness

Fledge is a talented and passionate speaker and has spoken several times at our church to all different ages. I have also had several people from our church go on mission in Africa with Fledge and they come back sharing the life-changing impact Son Safaris is making! Great organization with a compassionate, visionary leader.

Brian LaRue

Fledge was a fantastic choice for our group! He came and spoke at one of our club meetings at Lincoln memorial University College of Veterinary Medicine. He gave the perfect amount of the gospel and love for Jesus while still being considerate of those who didn't know Christ. Everyone mentioned how much they enjoyed having him come and how encouraging he was. A month later and people are STILL talking about him! You can't go wrong getting Fledge to come speak to your group!

Lincoln Memorial University - Christian Veterinary Fellowship

"Light yourself on fire with passion and people will come from miles to watch you burn.” Fledge definitely qualifies as one of these folks!

Alyssa Anderson - University of Georgia

Fledge kicked off our retreat weekend with a contagious enthusiasm! Students and professionals alike were riveted by his powerful storytelling. I was so impressed with the way he seamlessly wove his experiences in Africa with lessons from his walk with Christ. He thoughtfully tailored his message to our group’s specific needs. Fledge’s humor and excitement for the Lord rippled throughout our entire event!

Dr. Lauren Charles-Spears D.V.M. - Christian Veterinary Mission

Powerful and inspiring multi-media presentations that incorporate African safari ranger Fledge Fiamingo's fascinating experiences and extensive knowledge of wildlife make Son Safaris a must have program for your classroom at school, church, college, or really any group.

Angela Denton-Rachel - UGA College Ministry Director

Our students and teachers learned so much from him, and many parents commented that their children came home talking and talking about what they heard and saw. He is kind and flexible with his fun presentation and amazing personality. I really cannot speak highly enough of him! We are inviting him to come back next year, as well as to come to our church Sunday school. The best part was his ability to bring all of the incredible pictures and sounds back to our awesome creator: God. He was a blessing to our school this year!

Katie Ryan - Children’s Director, Athens First UMC

Fledge was a fantastic speaker at our annual banquet! He is passionate and captivating as he regales about his experiences as an African Game Ranger, - always relating his knowledge and experiences back to our relationship with God and His Son, Jesus Christ.  His knowledge, enthusiasm, charm, charisma, South African accent and unique subject matter make him a wonderful choice for almost any event. While he was in town for our banquet, we had him speak at a local school and he did a devotion at halftime of a high school basketball game. Whether it is a wild game dinner, youth camp, church, school, athletic event or any age group, Fledge has a broad appeal to a variety of demographics.  I highly recommend him.

Tom Harrison - Chairman of the Board, Cross Trail Outfitters

Fledge has been our Winter Retreat speaker twice for our college ministry at Penn State. No one does a better job of revealing God's Truth through creation. Fledge's experience as a Safari ranger allows him to engage audiences of any level with his story telling and teaching. You'll be hard pressed to find a more passionate speaker for a retreat, your week of camp, or conference!

Josh Pake - Campus Minister Penn. State University

It is absolutely amazing to learn about the ties between life on safari and Scripture. Fledge does an incredible job presenting this, and leaves you wanting more.

Beau Mason - University of Georgia

We have used Fledge to speak to our Student Ministry on multiple occasions. He is entertaining, informative, and deeply challenging. Not only are his presentations incredible, but his commitment towards taking students deeper and getting to know them on a personal level go above and beyond the "call of duty." You can't go wrong with Fledge or Son Safaris!

Adam Scott

Son Safaris is one of the most unique Christian ministries/non-profit organizations out there today. Director Fledge Fiamingo is skilled at creating metaphors and parallels between nature and Biblical truths. If you are looking to share the love of Christ through missions in South Africa or inviting Fledge to speak at your next event, then Fledge and Son Safaris is absolutely a great choice."

Ryan Kor

Son Safaris was very professional and courteous. Fledge did a wonderful job engaging our students and tying Biblical truths in with his life experience as a safari guide. I highly recommend him for your students!

Chad Stowers - Seymour Heights Christian Church,TN

Fledge came and spoke at our creation encounter - North Georgia Wildlife Park teen camp on two separate occasions and it was amazing! God totally used him to touch lives! He is passionate about his faith and gifted in sharing and challenging people to more in their faith walk using stories from his safari guide experience. I highly recommend Fledge as a speaker and supporting their ministry. We are praying for the doors to open again so we can join his team in their fieldwork in Africa like he came and ministered to our campers!

Hope Easter - North Georgia Wildlife Park

My experience was absolutely awesome. Fledge came to preach at my overnight camp and let me tell you Fledge is amazing. He does this great thing where he can take anything in the world and connect it to Jesus and make it into a sermon. And I LOVE his accent. Fledge is just one of the coolest guys you'll ever meet.

Rebecca - North GA Christian Camp

Fledge spoke at our week of camp at North Georgia Christian Camp. I was amazed at the way he was able to capture the attention of every middle school student for 45 minutes each night. His approach of sharing the Gospel through creation is amazing. I hope to be able to do a trip with him to Africa one day. Thank you for touching our hearts, Fledge, and thank you for your service to our great planet.

Jordan - North GA Christian Camp

Fledge has spoken at two of our Fall Retreats and he does not disappoint! The students loved his stories of his encounters with African animals. I loved how he used those stories to proclaim Biblical truth.

God did it again, this time getting His word out to us in sin city - Las Vegas. Thanks Fledge for speaking on His behalf. GSCO OVIS Convention

Henry McNatt

It was a privilege to have Fledge from Son Safaris speak and interact with our church. We used Fledge to speak at a Men's Retreat with 4 sessions, and he did a great job connecting in and out of sessions with our men and giving unique and dynamic presentations. During the same weekend, Fledge spoke during our 3 weekend services and the congregation loved his Lions vs. Hyenas sermon. He was approachable, professional, and relatable. He also spoke a relevant message to our youth. This man can taylor his messages to a wide variety of audiences. He is definitely someone that you want to get on board with and we are planning on having him back in the future. We Highly Recommend him.

Matt Shaw - Bettendorf Christian Church, Iowa

As a campus minister who has known Son Safaris for quite some time, I am always delighted to work with Fledge and his ministry. He has taken the time to speak to our students on several occasions and his passion for the environment, humanitarian efforts, and his relationship with Jesus are always evident. I highly recommend inviting Fledge as a guest speaker or take a trip with Son Safaris. It will change your life.

Glen Kuhn - Campus Minister, University of Tennessee

I have personally known Fledge since 2009 and I am always blown away by the wonderful work that he does through Son Safaris. Fledge has a passion to serve the Lord and he does so in many different ways. I have had him out to speak to the kids in my children's ministry on many occasions over the years. He is always prepared and the kids love to hear from ‘Mr. Fledge’ and his stories about the work he does in South Africa. I have seen Fledge serve and speak to kids, teens, adults at a variety of places.

Andy Albea

Fledge's passion for God's creation is so evident in everything that he does. He can make you so excited about the tiniest grass seed!
