It would be difficult to imagine a better guide for our trip than Barney, who met us at the airport upon our arrival and was with us throughout the trip. Barney was absolutely extraordinary in finding and spotting all of the animals that we were excited to see and experience up close, very often before any other guides were aware or present. He also has a true enthusiasm for and deep knowledge of all of the wildlife, as well as about local culture and history, and he is an excellent teacher in this regard. He is wise, patient (stopping while we took endless photos along the way), has a warm sense of humor (including with our fledgling attempts at speaking Swahili), and shares of himself and his own experiences very generously. Barney was simply the best guide one could imagine for a journey such as this.
“Loved it! Not sure on your other guides, David was amazing! I kept asking him to get out of the car and he wouldn’t let me, by the end he said just go, just kidding LOL – we had so much fun with him. He was so knowledgeable about animals, birds, the area, the people – it was wonderful. As the days wore on we could see how lucky we were to have David with his experience.”
