Tanzania Captured Our Hearts

July 9, 2024

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…

The absolute best guide in Tanzania.

July 3, 2024

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.

Magic in Tanzania

July 3, 2024

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.

A Dream Come True in Tanzania

July 3, 2024

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.

The Most Spectacular Vacation We Ever Had!

July 3, 2024

Wilfred is a super star! He is so knowledgeable about all the animals. He worked hard to make sure everything went right and we had the best experience we could possible have. We saw over 65 lion sightings alone, and 45+ other species which you would never see anywhere but a zoo. He knew so much background information. He is intelligent, has a great sense of humor, and loves his job. We see you Wilfred!

Trip of a lifetime (seriously)!!!

July 3, 2024

Wilfred was the best He was extremely knowledgeable and worked really hard to make sure that we got to see a ton of really cool stuff. We got to see all the big 5 and got a number of pictures that are truly National Geographic worthy. He understands photography and is really good about getting the light perfect for really good shots. It was obvious that his knowledge of animals and the parks is far above the average guide as many guides would listen to him and ask for his advice. He went above and beyond to help us with some snafu’s (not his fault) that happened on the trip. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in Tanzania. Just an all around great guy and great safari guide.

Outstanding experience

July 2, 2024

Wilfred is a pleasure to be with. He worked hard to see that we got as much out of our game viewing as possible. He shared his knowledge, and looked after all the little things. And he can seriously drive that land cruiser! But best of all, Wilfred was charming and fun to hang out with. He’s an excellent ambassador for his beautiful country, and an all-around good guy.
