“This was a superb trip. John was a great trip leader — the unique mix of great local knowledge of the area and wildlife along with huge photographic expertise, which he was eager to educate us on. The two guides were equally excellent, often finding great photo opportunities when other safari vehicles seemed to be failing. The ability to get so close to so many different animals, and to see them interact with one another, was truly magical.”
