We loved David. He was a great fit for our group. His sense of humor, knowledge, experience was amazing. We were very impressed by his ability to read our mood and adjust on the fly to provide the best experience possible. A couple of afternoons we were dragging, David noticed and adjusted by picking up the pace and eventually getting us back to the lodge a little earlier than we had planned in the day before. I loved how he made real efforts to show us specific things we wanted to see. Sometimes it was obvious he was making effort (like driving North to see the great migration) but other times it wasn’t so obvious (which was great). For instance, Melissa wanted to see water monitors so any time we cross a creek David would stop to look; but there was another time we took a short side-trip to an area that on a sunny day probably had a good deal of monitors; however it wasn’t a sunny day and David likely knew we wouldn’t see anything but he made the effort all the same. To me, it showed that he understood what we wanted and tried his best to make it happen for us.
“I really appreciated how straightforward and simple the process was—from putting together the itinerary, all the way through the lead-up to the trip. The initial planning call, along with the payment plan, then the pre-trip call to make sure everyone was on the same page (including the helpful YouTube videos)—it all felt seamless. And the best part was truly the expertise and professionalism of Wilfred. He did a wonderful job not only showcasing his knowledge of wildlife and Tanzanian culture, but also really took the time to get a sense of what we wanted out of the trip—even when, at times, we admittedly weren’t the most vocal, simply because we didn’t always know the breadth of possibilities.”
