David was great. He knew we wanted to see as much as possible and went over and above to make this happen. He offered us the option of starting early to which we happily agreed and we spent the entire day out and about. He is very kind, has a great sense of humor and is very knowledgable. He clearly works well with his colleagues and used this to provide us with the best experience ever. He is a keen photographer and worked hard to provide us with excellent photo angles.

David’s extensive experience as a safari guide was on full display during my safari. Multiple times, he would predict what the animals would do and/or position our safari vehicle perfectly to get the best experience. He was also personable and fun to be around. Highly recommend!

We may have had the best guide in the entire country—David is truly exceptional. With over 22 years of guiding experience, 18 of which have been with A2T, his knowledge and expertise are invaluable on a trip like this. There were numerous occasions when he would drive past an animal, making us wonder why, only to position us perfectly for a close encounter as the animal walked right by. David consistently ensured we had prime viewing opportunities because he instinctively knew the animals’ routes and behaviors. Despite his extensive experience, it was heartwarming to see his excitement for certain encounters, often pulling out his “baby” (his camera) to capture moments alongside us. He treated our family like his own, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout our journey. For instance, he surprised my sons with Tanzania soccer jerseys, which they absolutely loved. David was always attentive to our needs and preferences, ensuring our satisfaction at every turn. Beyond his exceptional treatment of tourists, his interactions with park rangers and fellow guides showcased his impressive networking skills. He constantly engaged with others, sharing stories and information about wildlife sightings, which greatly benefited us. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had David…

Terrific. Got to know us well. Was very clear in his communication. Asked what we wanted each day, and delivered. Very attentive to our comfort. Knowledgeable about the animals and the country. Seemed to have an intuitive sense about where to go and when to get the best viewing. Was great with our kids as well as with the adults. Nice sense of humor. Put in great positions to capture our photos.

David saved my safari. When he picked me up and saw I was wheelchair bound due to an injury, he immediately called the office and asked if he could purchase a wheelchair for my use during the safari. His proactive actions and going to buy a wheelchair at the last minute greatly impressed me. It set the stage for his excellence guiding abilities. After 18 years with A2T, he was networked in with the other guides and knew how to get to the best viewing spots every single game drive.

David was outstanding. He immediately went into action when he realized that we needed assistance with walking and accessing the truck. By the second day, he had procured a wheelchair and step stool to overcome these obstacles. He also coordinated with the staff at the camps and lodges to make sure that all of our needs were met. Of course with his knowledge and experience we had many memorable animal sightings along the way, including the Great Migration in Central Serengeti.

We felt so lucky to have David. He made sure we had the best experience and took great care of our group. He is obviously well respected by other guides and was always friendly and enthusiastic. He has a love of the animals and it shows. He seemed to know exactly how to position us for the best viewing and always was able to answer our questions. He has an infectious laugh and added so much to our trip.

I cannot say enough good things about David. He was so much fun to safari with–he constantly had us laughing. He worked so hard to make sure that we got to see everything that we were hoping for. He is so knowledgeable and provided us with detailed background and fun facts as we went.

David was incredible! He was both knowledgable and very funny, so we were all laughing a lot which my wife and I loved. He did such a good job, from finding us rarer animals to see, to serving us breakfasts and lunches, to just being a great companion on the road.

It is hard for me to capture in words my appreciation for our guide, David. All the feedback I’ve read from others fits – easygoing, fun to be around, knowledgeable, excellent at finding animals, fantastic eye for photography, great driver, etc. I appreciated his experience that we were aware of him sharing yet also the “behind the scenes” work that made our time comfortable. The words that seem to capture my feedback and time with David is to say he enriched my experience in Tanzania.
