BEST SAFARI EXPERIENCE EVER!! David will make sure you have the best safari experience! The preplanning was easy and the pricing was reasonable, even though we were half a world away, with all of his extensive connections and experience as well as having a USA representative. By simply telling him what we wanted to experience he was able to put together the perfect itinerary for our small group. Wonderful lodging in Serena lodges as well as luxurious Serengeti tented lodge and lots of game drives where David somehow finds and the most amazing situations and animals. My highlight was him finding the prime spot to watch the great migration of wildebeest crossing the Mara River with the drama of crocodiles trying to take down several of them…just like on “Wild Kingdom” that I used to watch on Sunday nights growing up. The close up viewing of beautiful wild animals are too numerous to detail but included prides of lions lounging after a kill, parades of elephants with their newborn babies, tower of giraffes lumbering past us, leopards both sleeping in trees as well as on the hunt, hippos, hyenas, gazelles and many more mammals as well as hundreds of beautiful species of birds. David has an eye for spotting them and being at the right place at the right time and if very patient. His game drives are not limited to two hours like most companies, and he stays out pretty much as long as you want to. I can’t recommend David and Kalama Wildlife Photographic Safaris enough. Contact him and you won’t regret it!

FANTASTIC! I have been on safari with Kalama Wildlife & Photographic Safaris twice. The guides are professional & knowledgeable about Africa, it’s people, and the wildlife. David’s knowledge of photography is unsurpassed.

Enjoy the best of Africa with the Best, Kalama Wildlife & Photographic 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 Tanzanian 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 Wildlife & Photography Safaris.

The owner and Guide David is a consummate Professional, great personality, made everyday an adventure, knew where the animals were, their habits, his enthusiasm and happy attitude was infectious with his fellow travelers causing continuous smiles throughout days and nights no matter what the challenges a trip in the wilds of Africa can bring, well-liked by his bush vehicle drivers and he hand-picked the best for their bush expertise and friendly communicative skills. His selection of modern tent camps and lodges were Outstanding and tailored to the mood and expectations of the travel group. We not only learned about the wildlife but also about the culture and wonderful people. Known throughout Kenya and Tanzania, he made challenges easy including often tedious border crossing bureaucratic hurdles. You want the best African experience- then this is who you should go with!

We’d been to Africa before and loved it, but our experience with David Kalama in Kenya and Tanzania topped it all! David is extraordinary, knows the animals and their behavior as well as the landscape and the people, and he and his drivers brought us to amazing experiences time and again. We came home with memories (and images) of animals and their behavior that were even better than we could have imagined! David’s knowledge, his humor, and his competence in leading our small safari group were unmatched. We’re home a week and miss it all already (thank you David!). Travel with Kalama Photographic Safaris and you’ll be so glad you did—we are.

David Kalama is THE BEST East Africa Safari Safari Director and Guide. You will see more animals and birds than you can imagine.
