Wilfred

Wilfred Tanzania Safari Guide

Read what our travelers have had to say about Wilfred

Wonderful!

October 16, 2025

Wilfred was excellent. He drove well, he planned out our days, made suggestions and told us what he recommends, drove around to certain areas which ended up being perfect for sightings, and he was very respectful of other guides and visitors. I want to highlight this with an example from Tarangire where a mom cheetah and 2 cubs had just gotten food and there were several vehicles swarming the site. Wilfred realized how this would be problematic and started directing other drivers to angle their cars head on to the scene so that everyone could get a good view and a better chance to see it. He displayed this behavior the whole trip with the respectful driving and helping keep things organized which was much appreciated. He ensured our lunches were packed and helped serve breakfast and lunch and was very informative about the country and animals and our questions.

Family adventure in Tanzania & Zanzibar

A guide can make or break a trip. We had a gem in Wilfred. We felt like we left a member of our family behind when our safari was over.

Wildlife, Laughter, and Lifelong Memories

July 21, 2025

Words cannot describe the incredible experience we had with Wilfred. From the moment we met him, he felt like part of our group not just our guide, but our friend. He laughed along with us, shared in our excitement, and made every moment of the journey enjoyable. His deep knowledge of the wildlife, sharp eye for spotting animals, and passion for his work made every game dive unforgettable. Thanks to Wilfred, we saw all of the Big Five and created memories we’ll cherish forever. He truly made our safari experience extraordinary and we are great full for him.

We loved Wilfred! He was kind, professional, extremely knowledgable and prompt. No ask was too much- I would recommend him to anyone going to Tanzania (and already have!).

Review of Noel

June 6, 2025

Our group of 20 had four wonderful guides: Noel, Fulgence, Wilfred, and Nasibu. Each was a gem–excellent drivers, unbelievable spotters of wildlife. In addition, Noel was kindness personified, with a smile to light up the world. Fulgence served as a group spark-plug, getting as excited about seeing an animal as we did (and he sweetly accommodated my wish to get to church services on Good Friday). Wilfred was a planner, able to predict where the animals were going and actually arriving there before they did; he was always patient. Nasibu was as deeply versed in the the wildlife and topography as the other three and was the best dancer. Several of us actually cried at Kilimanjaro Airport when said good bye to four wonderful men.

A once in a lifetime experience.

March 6, 2025

Excellent! Wilfred was eager to provide the best safari he possible could. He wanted to make sure we saw as many different animals as we could. He cared a lot about our well being. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the animals and the environment they lived in.

Wild Kingdom experience

December 9, 2024

Wilfred was great. I recognize that he has been doing this for 10 years, but it still seemed like he had bionic eyes. He could identify animals that just looked like a spot to me until I used binoculars. We saw a rig drive off but Wilfred stopped and an adult lion was laying there in the grass, the other driver had not seen him. He also had patience, both with letting nature unfold such as a cheetah hunting and taking down a gazelle and with my older parents.
