Leonard George

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.
