Trip of a lifetime
Absolutely amazing. David was tireless in getting us out to see everything. We only had to ask to see something and he would find it for us. Always seemed to know where the animals were, where they would walk, what their behavior would be, and would get us into position for the best photos with the best light. We couldn’t figure out how he found something marvelous every time we went out. All the usual suspects: elephants, zebra, wildebeest, lions, leopards, cheetahs, etc., plus a caracal in the Crater, two male lions taking down a hyena, hippos fighting in the pond, six lion cubs who were only about a month old (absolutely darling), and a crossing at the Mara River plus so much more. And then there was all the beautiful scenery. David showed us Tanzania in all her glory.
“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.”
