Richard Shepherd, Los Angeles, USA

In January 2007 I came to Tanzania, wanting to fulfill a long-standing dream of seeing Ngorongoro and the Serengeti.  That chance doesn't come around often, especially when you live across the world.  I count myself extremely fortunate that my guide for that chance was Dennis Lyamuya.  He made it an unforgettable trip, and was an excellent ambassador for the tour company but also for Tanzania.  Through his charity work, he later had the occasion to visit me in Los Angeles, and I was able to return the favor and play guide.  I'm determined to go back to Tanzania one day and have Dennis show me more of the sights.  I cannot praise him highly enough, as a person and as a guide. He's informative and knowledgeable, gracious, enthusiastic, perceptive, and fun.  Nobody is forcing me to say all these kind words, but it's a pleasure for me to do so.  I can genuinely say that he made the whole experience immeasurably more special, and my words don't even do justice to how.  Experience it for yourselves.
