"Arline and I want to thank you for an experience that has changed our family forever. ...Nature provided the setting, but you added two very special features: First, your knowledge of everything that walked, flew, swam, or grew kept us spellbound. Second, the warm hospitality of you and your colleagues made us feel very welcome in the deepest wilderness of Africa. We all only go around once, so I'm glad Donald Young Safaris showed us the best of Africa."

—Ted Greene, Rancho Santa Fe, CA

"Our safari with Don Young was the most exciting and educational experience of our lives, and we've been over a good part of the world."

—Capt. & Mrs. Lawrence Baker, Jr., Indialantic, FL

"Most of all, Don, we were impressed with your personal contribution to the success of our safari. Your significant knowledge of Africa, the animals, the people and the geology made the trip a once in a lifetime experience. In addition, your complete focus on safety and health precautions and your knowledge of various possible risks made us feel especially secure during the whole journey. When and if we execute another African safari, it will definitely be with Don Young Safaris."

—Lawrence S. Jordan, Costa Mesa, CA

"Our trip was one that we will never forget. We can still hear Pavorotti singing Tosca as we came back from a game drive in the Mara at sunset. Don is such a romantic—but then so am I. Dennis and I feel very fortunate and special to have our beautiful memories of Africa."

—Janis Lyon, Paradise Valley, AZ

"We wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the wonderful experience of our safari with you. The migration and other African wildlife lived up to and even exceeded our expectations, but your knowledge and expertise added another dimension. If this sounds like a commercial, it is surely intended to be; nevertheless, it is totally unsolicited and we hope will be given great weight should you choose to make our views known to prospective clients. Anyone wishing to visit Africa would benefit greatly from your professionalism and enthusiasm, and we are happy to say so through this letter or personally if anyone wishes to call us."

—Ed & Connie Jacob, New York, NY

"We have just returned from our most magical vacation in 30 years and are grateful for your friendship, professionalism, kindness, understanding, tenderness, knowledge, and above all else your enthusiasm and love of Africa and all things African which we share with you. This safari was special just as the first trek with you was special, but somehow it transcended what we considered a perfect experience and entered the mystical realm of true spirituality. We savor your friendship and are appreciative to recognize that we enjoy the company of a scholar and artist who too loves Africa and is enthusiastic and kind enough to share it with others. By seeing Africa through your eyes, our eyes have been opened."

—Bob & Liz Esperti, Jackson Hole, WY

"Thank you for all of your efforts in making our trip to Kenya such a wonderful experience. You are a gifted teacher. To not only have the knowledge, but to be able to communicate it so well and in so many different ways—that is a real talent. We want to particularly thank you for the sincere interest you showed in us as a family. You were much more than a guide; you were part of our family and tried to understand each of us. We look forward to traveling with you again."

—David L. Anderson, Atherton, CA
