CLIENT REVIEWS
In November I went on a 14 day birding safari with Isaac as the guide in Tanzania focussing on endemic birds and achieved 467 species. Everything was great about the trip. Isaac was always on time, organised, kind, thoughtful , checked you were ok, and ensured you had good views. I achieved most of my target species including Beesley's lark, Spot-throat, South Pare white-eye and Isaac did real-time ebird recording which ensured our trip list was up to date. The itinerary was well designed, including good en-route stops. His skill in the field was astounding , not just sight but fantastic hearing from impossible distance and picking out individual calls from mixed flocks.
I hired Isaac for 2 days around Arusha, Tanzania. He displayed a very high degree of skill with keen eyes, good familiarity with bird vocalization and knowledge of current taxonomy, including subspecies. I used him as a prelude to help me plan a 5 week self-drive trip through the Eastern Arc Mts and Ruaha, Mikumi and Tarangire national parks. He volunteered to arrange 6 guides for various parts of my trip. While not as skilled as Isaac, they all were knowledgeable about their local sites and provided valuable guiding service. Isaac also organized a 12 day trip across southern Kenya. Though guided by a friend of his, James Apolloh, he was able to join the second half of this trip. His skill, enthusiasm and knowledge was a welcome addition to our trip. I highly recommend Isaac as a guide. He is completely professional. This evaluation comes from someone who spent almost 10 years training birding guides in Cambodia.
In July 2024 I and two birding friends from the US did a two-week birding tour in Kenya with Isaac as our guide. Isaac quickly showed what an excellent guide he is. His eyesight and hearing delivered new birds every day, and his detailed knowledge of the habitat and locations ensured that we got to the right spots to find our target birds. Isaac was also a very friendly and pleasant person to spend time with throughout the days and evenings for dinners. We have already talked about a future trip to Tanzania and look forward to have Isaac as our guide then and I do not hesitate to give Isaac this highest recommendation to anyone looking for a birding guide.
Isaac was our dedicated and enthusiastic birding guide during our expedition in Nyerere National Park, Tanzania. His deep knowledge of the country's birdlife, combined with insights into his Maasai culture, enriched our journey. Isaac's passion for birds was evident in his constant efforts to find new species for us, and his status as the top eBirder in Tanzania highlighted his expertise. Overall, Isaac's warmth, expertise, and cultural insights made our birdwatching adventure truly exceptional and educational. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in exploring Tanzania's avian wonders with a knowledgeable and engaging guide.
