In many respects, Wilfred was the perfect guide for us. I don’t know if that was by luck of the draw or by some behind-the-scene planning. Our desire was to be out on Safari for as much of the day as possible and to learn as much about the animals/country/culture as we could. He essentially planned the details and timing of each day accordingly and gladly answered all our questions as well as provided other knowledge along the way, which we greatly appreciated. We found him accommodating and patient. He was always willing to move the vehicle to different spots to aid in better photo ops. His ability to spot animals in the wild was highly impressive. He found animals that we easily would have missed if left to our own devices. We realize he has been doing this awhile but, nonetheless, we still can’t believe some of the animals he spotted. Finally, beyond executing really well on his official duty, Wilfred is a really good person and we enjoyed spending our Safari time with him.

Wilfred was everything one could hope for in a guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable in addition to being kind, an excellent driver, and having amazing eyesight. He would spot animals in the distance while driving that some of us needed binoculars to spot. We got to see the big 5 and even part of the great migration (which Wilfred made a special effort to get us to because he knew we wanted to see that). One of the most amazing experiences we had was after having stopped for our bush lunch in the shade with several other Jeeps. Wilfred and the other guides noticed in the distance that a lion had taken down a zebra, so after lunch we all drove over to see what we could see and sure enough, there were two lions feasting on their fresh zebra. We then noticed a lioness on the other side of the road. Wilfred initially thought that she was going to join the other two but when she didn’t walk towards them, Wilfred told us that she had taken down her own zebra and was going to get her cubs. None of the other guides figured it out so we were…

Wilfred is simply extraordinary! He was flexible with regard to our needs and took enormous trouble to make sure our first lodge could accommodate our eccentricities. He is a fun and kind and warm person to hang out with. And he is a superb guide – immensely knowledgeable and with an unerring instinct about where to take us to see extraordinary animals. Also an extremely safe and skilful driver which is unglamorous but very important!

Wilfred was the best. He is so knowledgeable, easy going, and made great recommendations. We had a great time and consider Wilfred a friend for life. We would love to go back to Tanzania just to see him.

The best! Wilfred was knowledgeable, friendly, fun, etc… We’d ask for him again if we came back.

I think it is really hard to see all of the things a guide does for you on safari until you stop and think and just reflect on that day’s events. I will say that Wilfred is a master of all things seen and unseen. It is obvious he is skilled at getting us from one place to another (he never did tell me how he knows which roads to take through the Serengeti -there are no road signs!), he can conjure a lion or two around any bend in the road or a python in a tree hiding under a nest, he can answer a thousand questions about animals, birds, people, culture, food, language and anything else you can think of (he also has a well-read animal book he isn’t afraid to share) and he advises on planned start times and activities like a pro. But it’s those little things, the more subtle things that really make a trip become a true experience. The way he helped my daughter into the jeep each morning, shutting the door to make sure she was secure; the firm but gentle reminder not to stray from the jeep to ensure we didn’t get…

Wilfred far exceeded my expectations. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. I also still stay in contact with him now as I see him as a lifelong friend.

We could NOT have been more happy with Wilfred’s performance. He was the one who made our Tanzania experience one of a lifetime. He has so many positive behaviors that led to great experiences that it’s hard to put into words how happy we were that he was our guide. By the end of the tour, he was like family to us.

Wilfred was the best you could ask for. Simply amazing. Not a single complaint at all. We saw the entire big 5 on our first day – hard to complain about that! He was very social and down to earth. Best guide out there in my opinion.

Wilfred was extremely knowledge and we came home having learned so much about the wildlife and the parks. I loved that he would let us just sit and watch the lion prides and elephant herds. These moments are what were truly special – just being able to observe these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. He knew that I loved the elephants, so would always stop so that we could capture our photos. It was my husband’s birthday, and Wilfred went above and beyond to arrange a cake and birthday song during dinner, and caught it all on video for us – it was so special. Going on a safari has been a dream of mine since high school, and I have always had a love of African culture, so this was an amazing experience, to say the least.
