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.
“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.”
