Steve Taylor

I felt Steve deserved his own commentary since this wouldn't have been a great trip here. Most people just contact a local tour operator or some company in the states when planning to come here.  They also get packed in a car with a single guide/driver.  This is ok but what we have makes this trip extra-ordinary.  Steve Taylor who was the last retired director of the Cleveland Zoo. He was the director for 25 years.  To bring that knowledge and stories on a tour like this is great. He also has traveled many times to Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda to name a few.  He brings also his knowledge of people in the area like Monica and Derek who are observing giraffes.  I think he has some future meetings lined up for us.  He is also an avid birder so he has been teaching us how to sight and identify birds. There are so many colorful and unusual birds like in Latin America.  Most of all he is a really fascinating person who just makes this trip even more interesting.  We also have had many laughs with him so far on this trip. So along with him and our other guide we are seeing everything that we possible can here. I can't imagine doing this any other way.
