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.
“Karen was very helpful in designing our trip and helping with planning: there was hardly anything for us to do in preparation! And our guide Said was a skilled naturalist as well as a capable driver. We came across washed out roads twice in our trip, and Said had no trouble getting us through AND helping others who got stuck!”
