I traveled to Arusha to meet David Thadeus and continue our mission with the students and teachers at Endomaghan Primary School. Along with the mission we saw the sites... read more of Arusha,and traveled on a Safari in the Serengeti. I wanted to see the big cats. I did. Cheetah, lions, and leopards. The travel was comfortable and David shared the history of his country and information on the wildlife and the people. I felt safe. The planning of the travel was handled expertly. I highly recommend Exclusive Wilderness Trails for family, friends, business, for travel on your own.
April 20, 2017Dave was terrific! The five-day Safari tour was wonderful. The hotels he selected for us were great. We enjoyed every minute spent with Dave. Highly recommended!
October 10, 2022Best guide and an unforgettable trip! - David was an incredible guide! He went above and beyond every day, enlightening us with his world of knowledge on every subject. We did a 7 day tour of Tanzania... read more and he made sure every day was unique and interesting. We felt safe throughout the entire trip, and really enjoyed spending our week with the best guide - fun, responsible, and genuinely in love with the work he does. We’ve done guided tours before, and Dave is by far the best guide we’ve had! Thanks for an unforgettable trip! I don’t write reviews often, but this one comes highly highly recommended.

Truly TRULY recommended - We had some hopes when we traveled to Tanzania: the wildlife we are going to see, the places and lodges we're going to visit and how is it going to... read more work out.
Now that it is over, we can single-handily admit that reality far exceeded our expectations. Dave is a guide that has the most important merits you want your guide to have:
Responsibility - the way the trip was planned and the organization was flawless. We especially recommend the Serengeti and Ngorongoro.
Kindness - Dave made sure everything we needed is being taken care of.
Sensitivity - Dave knew exactly when we needed privacy and when not.
Experience - we saw an immense amount of wildlife (and many many cats). This happened mainly because of Dave's experience and capabilities.
Knowledge - Dave always had new information to share and was willing to give as much as we were able to accept.
Humor - the trip with Dave was sheer fun. It didn't take long before he became an integral part of the crew.
Therefore, if you have any plans to go to Tanzania, do not think twice and speak with Dave.
September 27, 2018Awesome Experience with Exclusive Wilderness Trails - My wife and I did a 6-day private safari in mid-February 2020 with David Thadeus as our guide.
The itinerary:
Day 1: Tarangire
Day 2: Ngorongoro
Day 3-4: Ndutu... read more area
Day 5: Central Serengeti
Day 6: Central Serengeti and flight from Seronera to Zanzibar
Our guide David Thadeus was outstanding. The road conditions were challenging but with his skill and experience, we made it everywhere very smoothly and saw the Big 5 and much much more.
David was a great spotter and found us loads of different experiences. A Lion kill was the highlight not to mention the mating inaction of a big lion and a Lioness at their mating season. A spectacular view of nature in action.
There were many other highlights of which was just seeing the vast number of animals in the migration grazing on the plains. Hundreds of thousands of wild free animals certainly make an impression on you.
All in all, it was a highly memorable experience and we would recommend David and his company highly.
Thank you!
