By way of background I have been recognised as a bird photographer in numerous International competitions including Bird Photographer of the Year. Over the yearsI’ve worked with over 50 photography guides. I have to say that David definitely ranks in the top 3 of quality guides.

 David was VERY attentive and professional in every aspect. We had 3 logistic issues (non of David’s making), on the trip and David was simplyamazing in sorting out these problems seamlessly.

David recognised the “needs”, of Western travellers and the camping accommodation was of a high standard, together with the food preparation.
