Client Praise for Isack Msuya

July 2007
The highlight of our safari was Isack. His knowledge and manner never faltered. He went out of his way to show us all the animals, birds, flowers and grasses. He was extremely patient with our questions, waiting to get the perfect shot and while we shopped.

You have a ‘gem’ in Isack. We would recommend him to everyone. He is an excellent representative for Duma Explorer and an example to be followed by all driver/guides. You know how to pick ‘em.

Isack was very excellent guide. He was knowledgeable, good-natured and very responsive to our interests. He made the safari portion of our trip a success, keeping us away from the crowds and spotting some elusive wildlife. The vehicle was spotless every morning despite the amount of dust gathered the day before. We were impressed at how smoothly all the arrangements went on safari.

Isack was our guide and I can’t say enough good things about him. I saw on your website that he is the newest hire. What a find! He is extremely knowledgeable and his eyesight is incredible. We all felt extremely lucky that he was our guide. Our experience would not have been as enjoyable without Isack.

The trip really would not have been the same without Isack. He was such a GREAT guide and we really enjoyed getting to know him. His knowledge of the animals and land is amazing. Not to mention his eyesight and hearing!! We learned so much from him and appreciate all of his hard work, from the bottom of our hearts. We missed him during our time in Zanzibar!

The driver/guide is a key part in the success of the safari. Isack could spot animals (many are well camouflaged) long before we could see them. He knew the names of all the birds, plants etc. the habits and status of the animal groups, and the background of the parks. His driving was superb and considerate. We saw several ‘cowboys’ rocket past us on many occasions and I pitied their passengers. The roads in many cases are like an assault course and you don’t want a ‘cowboy’ at the wheel!

Isack was very knowledgeable and has an amazing ability to sense and locate wildlife. His expertise and driving skills were much appreciated.

When we arrived in Tanzania we were met by Isack who was extremely friendly and helpful from the offset. Our luggage did not arrive with us but Isack was quick to reassure us that he would be flexible the following morning to make sure we had the supplies we needed whilst Duma would help us to retrieve the luggage (both of which happened for which we were very grateful).

Both Isack and Mr. Bean were really friendly and seemed keen to make our holiday as had enjoyable as possible. Both worked extremely hard and approached their work with a professionalism that impressed all of us. Isack seemed to take pride in making sure the vehicle was spotless each day.

By the end of our time together, it felt as though we were traveling with friends, not simply a cook and a guide and because of that, it made our holiday and impression of Tanzania all the more special

Our guide Isack was terrific! He was very knowledgeable about animals, plants and the terrain. He has the ability to see animals at such a distance that the rest of us wondered if were going blind! He is a terrific driver; his driving was closely monitored me (I wanted to drive too) and his skill on some of the roughest roads I’ve ever been on was second to none.

Isack has a sense of humor and is very entertaining and interesting to talk to. He went out of his way to stand up for us wazungu when we were being overcharged at a lunch stop on our way back from the coast. He is real gem.

There is something very sincere about Isack that I very much appreciated. He didn’t try to impress us by being a ‘Macho’ safari guide. We had a lot of good lot of good laughs together.
