David
Read what our travelers have had to say about David
Perfect safari and guide
David was on time and cautiously friendly when we arrived. It did not take long for him to warm up to us and we had a wonderful safari across Northern Tanzania because of him. David is excellent at understanding animal behavior. Many times he anticipated what was going to happen, so put us in the right spot to view something special. He obviously loves finding and watching animals and we were tireless customers. He never lost energy for the job even though we were on some long days. He is an excellent driver and we felt very safe with him in all kinds of conditions. He had the vehicle impeccably ready for us and was very ready to provide us with the experience we sought. We had several good laughs and there was a lot of joy in seeing David delighted with something. I imagine he is quite the story teller.

THE BEST!!! Number one! Outstanding. Fun personality. Took individual care of each one of us, including shoulder rides for 10-year old to “poly poly” grandma, and photographer. Worked early to 10 pm to get new tires and jeep in good shape. Drove to western corridor in Serengeti so we could see great migration, which was an extra plus that was not expected. Also insured we got to see rhino. Provided the best vantage point to view wildlife. Soaked his shoes placing boulders for crossing creek on hike. Feel blessed and lucky to get David as our safari guide.

Rodin was born to be a sculptor. Ted Williams was born to be a baseball player. David was born to be a safari guide. Too few people are exceptional at what they do. Fewer still take great joy in their profession. Those, like David, who exhibit joyful exceptionalism are the rarest of all. My family and I will never forget him and we’ll never be able to thank him enough for everything he did and for all that he meant to us. We made a great friend.

Read this Review >A terrific time in Tanzania
David was terrific!! Very knowledgeable, professional, considerate, funny, and adaptable. He worked hard to help us see a wide variety of animals. He was more than a guide; he became a friend. We had a great time with David; we’d like to have to him along on all our vacations.

During the trip, our guide David was wonderful. He was very outgoing and friendly, yet still very professional. He adapted seamlessly to our family’s personality and though the days were long, they were certainly never without humor, excitement, or wonder. David was also very skilled at troubleshooting in the moment, which proved to be crucial to our trip’s success. We had 2 flat tires, a few late days, and a few other possible issues arise; David took them all in stride and expertly created solutions, with a smile on his face or a joking comment ready to diffuse any hint of tension or anxiety that we may have felt. Aside from these minor mishaps that were well-dealt with, our trip was unreal, and with David’s expert guidance/recommendations and driving skills, we managed to easily see all of the Big 5 (on a 5-6 day trip); truly amazing!

Read this Review >We were lucky to have David!
David was the absolute highlight of our vacation. He is knowledgeable, kind, engaging, smart and just fun to be around. About halfway through our trip I realized that we weren’t getting just “lucky” when we saw elusive animals up close. It was David’s keen insight, experience and network combining to get us to just the right place at the right time. Twice during our trip we stopped to help others who were having vehicle problems and it was clear that David has the utmost compassion for his colleagues and fellow travelers. You have a gem in David and we were lucky to have him as our guide.

David was the best! I could go on and on about his attributes. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, including the birds, but made it possible for us to witness them very up close and personal. He made every day a delight and ensured that every need we had was met, and added more fun to the day with his congenial and fun personality. David was always there when we needed him, was on-time and on-schedule. He seemed to know exactly where our excitement lay and optimized everything to give us the best experience possible. We were fortunate enough to experience three Mara river crossings in three days! It’s clear that David lives and breathes in Tanzanian wildlife and was able to impart within us how the whole eco system works. We were ecstatic with our experience with David and felt that by the end of our 10-day safari, we could call him a true friend.
Read this Review >Excellent trip thanks to a great company!
David was very professional and knowledgeable but also very warm and funny. The guide can make or break the trip, and David worked tirelessly so we would have the best possible time. He was flexible to needs but also helpful in suggesting timelines.
