Tanzania Guide: Willy
Our best safari of all time by far
This was our second time with both A2T and Willy. On our first trip, he was great — really took care of us, found what we wanted to see, and made for a super-smooth and exciting safari. This time he even surpassed that. He not only would find what we wanted to see, but get us in the best position for experiencing and photographing it. He’s a pleasure to be with and always attentive to our needs, whether expressed or not. He has a great sense of what animals are … Read More
You really feel alive when you’re living amongst the lions!
Willy was an amazing guide. I immediately took to him as soon as I met him. He has very warm and with a friendly nature. He has in-depth knowledge of the various regions on the Safari and has a keen eye to spot all the wildlife. He went out of his way to ensure we got to see all that we wanted to and explained like a wildlife expert the nature and personalities of the different animals. He has so much knowledge about the history of that region and especially … Read More
Highly recommend Willy
We felt that Willy cared and was passionate about his work and desire to make us learn about the wildlife and the surrounding habitats in the area. During our 9-days together, he was always in great spirits and ensured we were having a good experience. He’s very knowledgeable and when he didn’t know an answer he would look it up and get back to us. Every morning the automobile was sparkling clean and he was always ready to go at the agreed-upon time, always waiting for us to meet him.
A Perfect Honeymoon
Willy was so great and knowledgeable. You can tell he loves what he does. He was so engaging and always checking in about how we were feeling and what we wanted to do – he really catered the day to our wants and needs and we would always come up with a plan that suited us. We saw everything we wanted to and more. The photos we got don’t even look real because we saw such amazing and unexpected things!
Willy – a true ambassador of Tanzania and its National Parks
Willy is the best! He was happy to spend 10 days with us, sharing cultural details, taking us where we wanted to go, and sometimes providing better suggestions. His ability to spot animals in uncanny. And there was no animal or bird he couldn’t name or provide more details. His knowledge and dedication towards wildlife protection was very evident. Also a shout out to ground staff and other guides we interacted with – Stella, Hadi, Elibariki.
Review of Willy
Willy is exceptional at his job. He explained the animal behavior to us so clearly and we were able to see everything. He was very enjoyable to be around and understood the vibe of our family.
A well planned, personal adventure
Willy was thoughtful, kind, professional, and unbelievably astute at consistently getting us in the right place at the right time. I also felt a little sick at one point and he immediately identified why (altitude!) and got me feeling better.
I love Tanzania and Willy is my family.
Beyond superior. Despite extreme conditions regarding mud, we never got stuck. In fact, Willy stopped and helped get other drivers get unstuck! We enjoyed the short experience of that and appreciated the comradeship amongst guides of which Willy is seemingly a leader across all companies. He is my family now and we will choose him upon our return to the great country of Tanzania. I need you to understand I rarely give the highest mark for anything as I firmly believe there is always room for improvement. I give Willy … Read More
Best guide we have ever had
We have used guides before on other trips and Willy was one of the best. You could tell he had a lot of experience and knowledge but what was most amazing about Willy was his kindness, sense of humor, and how well regarded he was with other guides we came across. Willy was always the first to help when someone was stuck and he was a clear leader amongst his peers. We will forever be grateful to Willy for taking such great care of us on this trip, letting us … Read More
The Trip of A Lifetime
Willy was great. He was knowledgeable, timely, considerate, kind and flexible. He demonstrated ability to juggle multiple people’s ideas and needs. He’s got the best smile and a great sense of humor as well. We, of course, must mention that his driving skills were incredible. We felt safe and we never got stuck!!!
