Tanzania Guide: Willy
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!!!
Exceptional
We could not have asked for a better guide than Willy. Professional, knowledgeable, funny, incredible at answering the kids questions, outstanding at responding to our medical situation. Could not have felt safer or happier with him.
Access2Tanzania For A Trip of a Lifetime!
We recently returned home from our safari, having planned for over a year with Casey as our consultant & advisor. He made recommendations, but was always open to our input and requests about possible changes. As icing on the cake, Willy Philemon was our assigned guide and we can’t imagine having this trip of a lifetime with anybody else in the driver’s seat! We began the adventure in Arusha. The initial plan was to go to Mt Kilimanjaro & view the Materuni Waterfalls. Willy took the initiative to touch base … Read More
No more “personal, sensitive” questions! An inside joke, you’ll have to ask Willy! :)
What a pro. When I think about all the years Willy has been a guide and all the same, basic questions he’s had to answer, his sincere engagement with us was just remarkable. It’s not like he hasn’t seen zebra and elephants a hundred times–but you would have never known, as he enthusiastically observed and described what we’re seeing. We also had several very interesting in-depth conversations about the Masaai, about conservation and about gender in Tanzania. I really appreciated his willingness to talk candidly and passionately about his view … Read More
Willy’s the guide you want on safari.
Can’t say enough positives regarding Willy. Based upon online reviews, we requested Willy to be our guide and he did not disappoint. From the time he picked us up at JRO to when he dropped us off at the Serengeti airstrip, he was extremely attentive, knowledgable and fun. A guide can make or break a trip and Willy made it a trip of a lifetime.
Africa will change your life!
Willy was one of the top 2 guides we have ever had and we’ve had many. He was attentive, courteous and knew where all the animals were! We left Tanzania with a new friend, in addition to experiencing a great adventure with a knowledgeable guide.
Indescribable Adventure
Willy was simply the best! He often gave advice to other guides and seemed to know everybody. We cannot imagine having a better guide with us for our safari adventure.
incredible
We cannot say enough good things about Willy. He was incredible. He was so knowledgeable and informative on our game drives. He took pictures for us and spent the time to share them to our iPad. He is thoughtful and kind, and went above and beyond on more than one occasion. We now consider him a friend, and if we were to return, we would not want anyone other than him.
