Tanzania Guide: Willy
Willy is the best!
We had a blast driving around with Willy. We really appreciated his good nature, his knowledge, his passion for the game drives and animals, and his excellent driving skills. How he could drive down those roads and still be able to spot hard to see wildlife is beyond our comprehension. Because it was so much fun, it was a no brainer for us to spend all day out and about looking for wildlife rather than going back to the lodge for lunch or a break. He also had a good … Read More
Far exceeded our expectations
Willy was outstanding!
Willy is the best
Willy was unbelievable. He could spot the animals like he has a sixth sense but also could predict their behavior, and knew how to drive so we’d get the best view. Knew which birds would always be in pairs. Knew when the rhino would change position so we would get a better look. He was unbelievably patient with me and my bad eyesight and made sure I saw every animal he saw. So patient with my constant questions and asking to stop or stay longer. Such a kind person who … Read More
One amazing trip!
We loved Willy; he was a great guide! It’s clear he loves his job and the animals. He also cares about the other guides and is so helpful to everyone. We had a wonderful, unforgettable experience thanks to him!
INCREDIBLE guide!
Tanzania was great but Willy made the trip AMAZING! Willy anticipated all of our needs, even before we knew our needs. He was a great driver (an important skill in Tanzania) and always ready with a smile every time we headed out. He was incredible at spotting animals and had an uncanny ability to anticipate their behavior, which led to incredible animal viewing. But even more important is Willy himself. Everyone knows Willy. He is thoughtful, kind, and his generosity of spirit is unsurpassed, whether sharing information with other guides, … Read More
A Life-Changing Experience
From our first meeting with Willy we knew we had a guide of exceptional character. He’s kind and respectful, not only of us and the wildlife but of the many other guides we met along the way. We loved watching the numerous interactions with other guides because even though we don’t speak their language, it was obvious that they hold Willy in the highest esteem. Willy’s love of his job and his great sense of humor made us look forward to getting into the car with him each day. The … Read More
Dream Safari
Very impressive. Willy has a full knowledge of the animals, locations, plant material, culture and history of Tanzania. There wasn’t any question he couldn’t answer. It is clear that Willy wants to protect the parks and wildlife. We felt safe even on those bumpy roads.
A fabulous time in Tanzania, exceeding all of our expectations
Loved Willy. All of us want to adopt him. He was knowledgeable, he was fun, he accommodated our needs. We could not have been more pleased with him. He also seemed to have a remarkable ability to not only spot the wildlife, but also to anticipate what the animals would do next. He repeatedly put us in superior positions to see things, not by driving as close as possible as most guides did, but rather putting us exactly where they would go next.
Review of Willy
Willy was awesome. I think he was the “mayor of Tanzania” haha. He knew everyone and made sure we had what we needed and were comfortable.
Incredible Multi-park Safari
This is our second trip with Willy. We cannot have asked for anything more. It was uncanny how many times Willy was the first to spot animals such as cheetahs, lions, leopards, etc.
