David Henley

David was a superb trip leader. Always available and responsive on every issue. Extremely knowledgeable about the territory we were covering, including the history and the people. Quick to address any concerns, and sensitive to individual needs. Watched over us like a shepherd overseeing his flock! He has also nurtured very good relationships with each of the local country guides, who were also excellent.

We always travel with Wilderness because we believe you have the best guides and David certainly reached that high bar. He was well organized and so knowledgeable about the histories and cultures we visited. He’s traveled and lived in the region for so long that his understanding of these places and people is both broad and deep. Also, he engaged with the group very well—he’s easy going, has a relaxed approach, makes it fun and interesting and still gets the job done in a really effective way. We thought he was terrific. And we always felt well taken care of.

It is not exaggerated to put ‘excellent’ for every category for David. I already miss his good-natured humour and wonder for the culture and sites we traversed. He never appeared impatient, irritated or what. And talking to him is a very easy task.
