David was a perfect match for us as regards our/his personality. We like to joke around, tell stories, ask a lot of questions, adapt to circumstances on the ground, etc. That describes David. He is very personable which I think is important when you spend 10 – 11 days in the car with the person. He is really “into” birds, which was a total surprise to us and enhanced our visit. Of course we’d like to see, photograph and learn about the Big 5, etc., but adding birds to the itinerary was a big plus, as well as helps fill in the “dead time”. We connected so well with David that we invited him to join us for dinner the last several days, which was a nice plus.
“What an amazing family experience. From the moment Willy picked us up at the airport to the moment he dropped us off we felt right at home. It’s hard to put into words the experience because it was truly life changing. You’d expect that we would say seeing lions (and boy did Willy the lion whisperer know how to find lions!) was the highlight. Don’t get me wrong that was wild! But our connection with Willy and doing things like visiting an orphanage and going to his house for a typical African dinner were outstanding. To have a little glimmer of how people in another country and culture live is to forage a lasting connection. We cried when we had to part with Willy because he had become family to us”
