A master at spotting animals AND birds
David was always on time and was friendly and helpful. I enjoyed meeting him and having him as a guide. He worked incredibly hard to provide us with the best game viewing opportunities possible! Sometimes he seemed to be channeling the animals as he could predict where they were going to go next. Although seeing game might have been first on my list of things I wanted to happen, I was also interested in the bird life. Serendipitously we discovered that David was also an knowledgeable birder and was incredible at spotting even the smallest birds. This was an unexpected bonus. In the future, if other clients have an interest in birds as well as animals, pairing them with David might be especially successful. This is not something I thought about before our safari–just a happy coincidence!
“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.”
