Serik.
About this host
Serik is a local guide and driver based in Aktau, in the Mangystau region of western Kazakhstan, where he was born and raised.
He specialises in multi-day 4x4 trips across Mangystau's desert landscapes, running itineraries from one day up to eight days that take in the Valley of Balls, Sherkala Mountain, the Tuzbair salt flats, Kyzylkup (Tiramisu Canyon), Bokty Mountain and the Bozzhyra canyon system, usually with overnight camping under the stars.
Guests consistently describe him as organised, friendly and attentive, with a strong knowledge of the area and an eye for the best viewpoints and photo spots along the way. Meals during camping tours are also mentioned as a highlight.
Serik guides and drives personally, in a Toyota 4Runner that takes up to four travelers. Tours include camping equipment, meals, water and national park fees, and he builds itineraries around what a group wants to see, from short one-day drives out of Aktau to longer expeditions deeper into the region. He speaks some English, alongside Kazakh, Russian and Turkish.
He says he has been drawn to Mangystau's landscapes since childhood and wants to take travelers beyond the usual routes to see them.

Nous avons commencé notre trip avec un autre guide que Serik, car nous avions réservé à la dernière minute et ce n’était pas top top. Mais dès le deuxième jour, nous étions avec Serik, et vraiment tout était super et il a su compenser notre première journée ! Encore merci pour tout et nous recommandons sincèrement Serik !
