Exceeded expectations
David did an outstanding job in helping us to have the best possible Tanzanian safari experience. He provided expertise and knowledge to see that our schedule fit best with the likely availability of the animals, maneuvered the vehicle so that we could obtain the optimal photographs, showed consideration & respect for other people and animals, offered assistance in moving luggage and other tasks, kept the vehicle in clean working condition, skillfully navigated rough unpaved & unmarked roads, worked long hours to satisfy our desire to maximize our time in the field…all while maintaining a pleasant demeanor. He drove over to help another vehicle that was stuck in mud, but only after first asking us whether it was all right. We felt like we were in competent hands. David is friendly and talkative but not overbearing. He is obviously very experienced, yet he often made it seem like he was just as thrilled as we were to spot a bird, cheetah, black mamba, dung beetle or birthing wildebeest.
“Excellent staff. Casey was extremely responsive in planning the trip. I had certain things I did and didn’t want to do, he tailored our experience accordingly (and with keeping our budget in mind). The trip was perfectly proportioned, mostly because of him. Our guide on the ground, Wilfred, spent 12 days with us. We couldn’t have asked for someone better. We became comfortable companions, easily sitting together in silence over long drives or telling stories during dinner. He didn’t wait for us to ask something, he anticipated our needs. When he saw we didn’t finish our lunch boxes, he asked us what we liked and didn’t like. He made sure to relay the information to the hotels and we finished out lunches going forward. He saw I had an itch to get into the Wildebeest migration. Even though it was far away and our chances of finding it could be small, he made sure it happened. The staff set everything apart, especially when we compared it to our tour companies we saw in the area.”
