Immersive Journey into the Wildlife and transforming encounters with their majestic creatures
Right from having the First contact with my Guide David, everything went very smooth. It really was easy to communicate and i got fast replies. Thanks to His flexibility we were able to find a time for the Safari spontaneously.
Before the Safari He also was recommending places to visit around Cape... Read more town and Johannesburg wich came in very handy when planning my time in south africa in General.
During the Safari, where we saw all of the big 5, David was very adaptable to my wishes and flexible to Personal preferences. He has a Lot of knowledge of South africa and it was interesting to hear about all These Things. In Our time in the Kruger National Park we visited places He knew Well wich were almost everytime a guarantee to have some great sightings of animals. During the Game Drives we Had incredible Encounters with elefants families, Lions fighting and hunting, intimate Moments with baboons and their children, Tracking footprints of rhinos until finding them in the wild and many many more unforgettable experiences.
In conclusion i can say, that i was overwhelmed by the Beauty of Nature and the Feeling of Being with these beautiful animals and having the priveledge of Sharing their Habitat. Their Grace is Something i will forever carry in my Heart.
Thank You David, my friend, for making all of that possible! :)

Excellent service and outstanding tour
I had an extra day in Johannesburg before going on safari in Botswana and Zimbabwe and decided to contact David based on his reviews on Safaribookings. I also contacted a competitor and David got back to me much quicker with several options for a day of birdwatching in Johannesburg. I was very pleased... Read more with his quick response time and the various options he provided. He came to pick me up at my hotel and we drove in his very comfortable van to Marievale birding reserve, where we were able to enjoy a number of different hides in the reserve. We were there on a weekday so there were very few other visitors. After a lovely lunch we then went to the Walter Sisulu Botanical Garden, where we were able to walk around the beautiful garden and see a number of different species of birds. David was very interesting to talk to about South Africa politics as well, and we spent a really nice day together. I would highly recommend him and although we did not do one of his more historical or cultural tours I am confident that those are excellent as well.In addition, I felt that David's tour was very fairly priced compared to others in the area.

Exceptional Service & Thoughtful Planning – Highly Recommend David!

He crafted a well-thought-out itinerary tailored to our interests, providing us with detailed insights and thoughtful suggestions along the... Read more way.
Although we couldn’t finalize our trip with him due to scheduling conflicts, his patience, expertise, and friendly attitude truly impressed us. We have no doubt that he would provide an exceptional safari experience, and we will definitely reach out to him for any future trips.

An Unforgettable 12-Day Photo Safari with David: Exceptional Guide and Photography Mentor
David and I went on a 12 day photo safari in the Kruger National Park and 3 private game reserves. It was a wonderful experience that I wholeheartedly recommend!
David worked with me to craft a good itinerary that fit my taste and then went above and beyond to make it happen. We overcame a silly... Read more incident with my visa being initially denied and the whole trip postponed, and even a serious pneumonia that kept him in hospital!
The complex itinerary was a challenge (we traveled almost every day between lodges), but David never missed a step, we were always punctual without ever being in a hurry.
A very special highlight for me was the photography mentoring. David's decades of experience as a cinematographer and photographer make him a very knowledgeable teacher, and I was able to achieve photos that make me proud and are on a new level for me (and, dare I say, are really good in general!)
David is a great tracker and field guide, able to spot any bird or animal in the bush, identify it and talk about it.
He's also just a very interesting human being, knowledgeable on many subjects, ready to speak with passion about his beloved South Africa or any other topics.
I plan to book David again for adventures in the wild but also for an art tour, a scenic tour, or maybe other tours from his portfolio.
