David learned that Shane liked beer while we were sitting in a restaurant near the Masai Market, enjoying beer. (David had a soda.) Shane asked a few questions about the local alcohol and specifically about mbege (banana beer). David asked if he wanted to try it and Shane responded, “yes, if we can find it.” David told us we could probably get it in his village. I didn’t realize he was serious. That afternoon on our way to Plantation Lodge we stopped at the “bar” in David’s village where he bought Shane mbege. The locals thought it was funny and Shane and I loved it – not the beer as much as the experience. David knew the brewer and so we were given a tour of how he made it. Shane brews his own beer so the entire experience was not only a learning experience but was so amazing to us. Many thanks to David!

He knew that photography and adventure were the main points of our safari and he made that happen. He was great at spotting the animals and we were able to see everything we wanted and more.

We had lots of fun with him and he made our trip unforgettable. The way he acts during the safari is inspiring.

He was kind, friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and went above and beyond! He had such a positive attitude and really tried to show us everything possible. Sometimes I thought he was more excited to see things than we were! David also took us to two villages that were not planned stops just because we asked.
