Steve was excellent
We were very lucky to have Steven as our guide. Everyone in my family adored him. Steve is an expert in birds, but his over 20 years of acquired expertise covers a wide variety of African animals. We were truly delighted to find so many animals in a relatively short Safari (6 days). We went to Tangire, the Serengeti Plain, and Ngorongoro Crater, and in that short trip, we were able to see 1) a cheetah hiding in the tall grass, 2) a lioness cleaning her three cubs in the tall grass (my daughter’s favorite) & a lioness stalking and Killing a warthog (my favorite because it felt like a National Geographic movie in real life) and 3) a leopard sitting in a tree after a kill, and 4) several buffalo. All told, we saw four of the five “Big Five” Tanzanian animals! We saw many others but those four were definitely on the top of our wish list!
In addition, all through the Safari, Steve pointed out birds we had never seen before. The man might just know the name of every single bird in Tanzania! He would stop and show us beautiful birds I'd never seen before in my life. It felt like I was taking a college level class in ornithology. We weren’t bird experts but we definitely became interested in bird watching after taking this safari with Steve. He is an all around excellent guide!
