Stanley is off the charts! His ability to spot animals is unparalleled, and, frankly, magical. His knowledge about all we saw and heard and experienced was remarkable. Plus, he is a fantastic leader—gentle, kind, generous, funny, caring, interactive, tireless, and always in charge, making sure we are on track, but in an understated way.

Stanley is a fantastic trip leader. He is extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife and has an uncanny ability to find/spot animals and birds. He shared tips on how he did this as well, watching animal behavior and listening to bird calls. But most importantly, he devoted time to other topics—geology, astronomy, culture, politics—that brought out his skill and experience as a natural teacher and that rounded out the adventure for us.
