FANTASTIC! I have been on safari with Kalama Safaris twice. The guides are professional & knowledgeable about Africa, it's people, and the wildlife. David's knowledge of photography is unsurpassed.
Seeing animals in their habitat is an unforgettable experience! Every day is a feast of wildlife sightings. The accommodations are superior lodging, food & locations, staff.
Enjoy the best of Africa with the Best, Kalama Safaris. I did!
Traveled the world and never have we ever had a better director or guide. Because of David Kalama we have been going (to East Africa) for seven years. The first trip we were hooked, not only do we love Kenya and Tanzania and the parks, but without David as our leader we would not continue to, he is what makes the whole trip successful. His personality, knowledge and knowing where the wildlife are cannot be beat. We stay at the nicest and safest camps and the staff becomes family. I highly recommend anyone traveling to Africa to see the wildlife to travel with David Kalama Safaris.
Can’t wait to travel with Kalama again!
David is an excellent host. The trip was well planned with lots of great surprises. We saw everything we were hoping and more. David felt like part of our family immediately. The jeeps were comfy and well-stocked. The lodgings were amazing. The food and all the locations were amazing. There was always something for all tastes. We were treated like royalty. We had lots of time to see animals and rest and enjoy family time. We will absolutely be back for another adventure again
You are missing out on the best way to safari if you go with anyone other than David Kalama. He provides amazing connections that give you white glove service throughout the entire trip, his knowledge of the local history and animals is unmatched, and he will put you in the best possible position to get the best shots of all of the local flora and fauna. It also helps that he’s a ton of fun to hang out with. We consider him family after having gone to him for several visits, and we hope to do more in the future. BOOK A TRIP ASAP!
