Leonard George was the guide for our family safari trip through north-western Tanzania (Tarangire National Park, Lake Manyara, Lake Eyasi, Ngorongoro Crater, and Serengeti). This was a trip our family of 4 had planned for a (very) long time so expectations were naturally high when we arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport late at night and were picked up by Leonard, a person we had never met or communicated with but would spend the next 11 days with us in close quarters. Not only did we quickly feel at easy and comfortable but Leonard was everything we could have hoped for and a LOT more. Not only was he an exemplary driver, extremely knowledgeable about wildlife, unique ability to spot wildlife that the rest of us would never have seen while driving, and also to always positions the car in the most optimal location for the best viewing and photos was amazing. We have way too many memorable moments to list and while we did see all Big 5, watching a (single) buffalo chase several lions, and catching a young lion couple on their honeymoon was probably near the top. In addition to Leonard’s comprehensive wildlife knowledge (big and small animals as well as birds) he is a true ambassador to everything Tanzania and we learned a lot about history. Leonard was always prepared, his service was always above and beyond anything we had hoped for and we now consider Leonard as part of our extended family in Tanzania. Leonard not only made us feel safe but made us feel very comfortable and special. We would absolutely recommend Leonard for your trip of a lifetime to beautiful Tanzania. By the way, when you book your trip with Leonard make sure you remember to ask him to tell you the story of the jackals, the hyenas and the lions.

We, the 6 of us, were so lucky to get Leonard George as our guide during our 10 day safari in Tanzania. He was very knowledgeable about the habitats and habits of the birds and animals around the lakes, plains and Serengeti. With his knowledge of wildlife and his eagle eyes, he spotted so many creatures that we would never have spotted on our own. But, just as importantly, Leonard had a way of making us feel very comfortable but special at the same time. He made sure that we got to see all The Big 5 animals. Though the Cheetahs would turn out to be the most elusive of all of them, he eventually tracked down 4 of them sitting together! We would definitely recommend you request Leonard for your “once in a lifetime trip” to the beautiful country of Tanzania which I affectionately refer to as the land of “Noah’s Ark”.

Tanzania is a beautiful country with amazing wildlife and incredible culture. Leonard was not only our guide to the animals but a true ambassador to everything Tanzania. Along with his colleagues, Leonard absolutely made this safari an experience of a lifetime!
