Only positive notes regarding Wilfred. What a professional! What I appreciated most was that he got a feel for our group right away and knew what intrigued my parents—whether in terms of wildlife, general facts about Tanzania, or anything else. Everything felt like clockwork and ran smoothly; we would have a briefing about the next day (like what time to meet and when to expect to be back), and it all went accordingly. We were also in awe of his ability to be incredibly aware of his surroundings and proactive in getting us to the best spots. Not to frame it as competition with other drivers/guides out in the field, but time and time again we noticed how Wilfred strategically anticipated where wildlife would go and got us to those spots before other drivers did.

I don’t have enough positive things to say about Wilfred. First and foremost, we always felt safe with him and never felt he’d put us in a sketchy situation. We saw plenty of cars hit bumps too hard or get stuck in the mud, but never us. He navigated the terrain expertly while also spotting animals we never would have seen in a million years. We joked that he had a superhuman memory and superhuman eyesight. He was so knowledgeable, always had a thoughtful answer to all of our questions, and helped us work out the perfect day-to-day itinerary. He was also just a really fun guy to hang out with. Would 100% recommendation him to other travelers.

Wilfred came recommended to us and we can see why. He has a keen eye and there were at least three times where he spotted animals before anyone else and we got an exclusiving viewing. He was also very considerate of my photography requirements and adjusted to support me. We had a great time learning about Tanzanian life and culture and he was a great resource, What we liked best was that he did not focus on the big cats and the big five, but also took the time to show us the birds, the squirrels, the mongooese and the dik-diks. We shared the same philosophy towards animals and had a strong moment of connection when we came across a dik-dik run over by a water tanker and it broke our heart to see the mate in mourning.

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.

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.

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!).

We were blessed with guides Fulgence, Noel, Wilfred and Nasibu! What amazing humans these men are! They were extremely knowledgeable about animals, birds, Tanzania. They were and shared the spirit of Tanzania with us daily!

Excellent! Wilfred went out of his way to respond to our special interests and be sensitive to our preferences; was full of information; was warm and friendly to each one of us; shared fascinating cultural information; had a good sense of humor; and never let on if he was tired! Such stamina!
