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
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!

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

Our students and teachers learned so much from our ‘Virtual Safari’, 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 came to Oconee County Primary School on Earth Day for an in-house field trip for our 175 first graders. He did two sessions. He engaged every first grader and the 11 educators. He taught the students about animals and their characteristics. He had an engaging presentation using beautiful pictures and videos using our Smartboard. His stories were so engaging. OCPS will be requesting him every year as he met every animal standard in our science unit. What an amazing presentation and presenter!
Alana Stanton - Oconee Primary School
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!

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
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!

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."

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 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.

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.

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
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 - University of Georgia- College Ministry Director
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!

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
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
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.

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.

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.
