Most wonderful safari with our passionate and attentive guide

Reviewed April 3, 2022

We spent eleven days with Leonard and visited the following places: Arusha, Tarangire, Manyara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti and even an authentic Massai village.

Leonard is an extremely welcoming and most friendly guide who made us feel comfortable right from the beginning of our trip. He gave us a most authentic Tanzanias experience and made us never feel like tourists.

As a guide, Leonard is extremely knowlegable and explains during the trip so many intersting things about animals, plants or culture in fluent English. Most outstanding are, however, his spotting skills. Leonard saw animals and had a sixth sense that more would appear out of the bush where other drivers would simply go past. At the same time, he is very respectul towards nature and would never hassle the game when finding the perfect foto spot. While watching the wildlife, Leonard gave us all the time we needed to engross in the experience, answered patiently all our questions, and accomodate a quick stop here or there for yet another picture of the scenic nature.

During the whole trip, he was super reliable and we felt safe at every moment even during heavy rain when driving on rough roads. When it came to our ideas during our stay, he was most forthcoming: When we were excited about fresh and authentic food, Leonard took us to a local market where we got fresh fruit and vegetable, we bought some chapati in a small village and then prepared and ate the most delicious fresh salad out in the bush. The other day, he found for us a volunteering organization, where we could talk with the locals about their work.

Leonard truly loves his country and is incredibly passionate about showing its beauty to people from all around the world. We whole-heartedly recommend to go on safari in Tanzania with Leonard. For us, he is the best possible guide and we very much looking forward to coming back one day and seeing more of the Tanzanian wildlife and nature together with him.

Thank you, Leonard, for being such a wonderful, kind and truly amazing travel companion. We came as tourists and left as friends.

Tanzania beyond expectations

Reviewed April 10, 2018

After a  long flight from Schipol it was wonderful to see a friendly face waiting for us as we emerged late at night from Kilimanjaro Airport,  Leonard made us welcome in Tanzania and became our guide and friend for the duration of our holiday.

Our aim on this holiday was to take our eight  year old grandson Oliver to show him Africa, its animals and people. Leonard took Oliver under his wing and gave him an unforgettable introduction to Africa.

The sign of a true professional guide is the ability to spot hard to find game at long distances in difficult conditions, Leonard was always able find  interesting wild animals and place us safely in the best positions to view and photograph the aninmals even in difficult conditions.   

Leonard is always aware of the safety of his clients, he is a safe and capable driver both on and off the road.He has an in depth knowledge of Tanzania it's history and wildlife and has interesing humorous  interpretation, including the Lion, Jackal and Hyena stories.

After reading the previous reviews on this site I absolutely agree with all of the comments made, Leonard is a true Ambassador for the Tanzanian travel and Safari industry.

I thoroughly recommend Leonard to anyone planning a Safari trip large or small whatever the ages, he is proven to be the best guide and travelling comanion you could wish for.

Tanzanian Safari

Reviewed June 8, 2017

My husband and I were fortunate to have Leonard as our guide for a 12 day safari in Tanzania. It was just the two of us so it was important that we got along since we would be together most of the time! Leonard turned out to be great company as well as a very knowledgeable guide. He made sure we were safe and comfortable and was flexible within our itinerary. I highly recommend Leonard as your guide to any place in Tanzania! Review by Debbie
