Tanzania Guide: Willy
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.
Best guide we could have asked for!
We couldn’t imagine a better safari guide than Willy. He has expert knowledge of Tanzania – its history, culture, and people; the landscape and habitats; and of course the animals. He is a wonderful ambassador for Tanzania and regularly highlighted our similarities across cultures, regardless of country of origin. As a safari guide, we were in awe of his calm driving and navigation skills in crazy challenging terrain and vast landscapes with virtually no signage. We’re convinced Will has a supernatural power that enables him to spot creatures of all … Read More
Excellent family trip of a lifetime
Willyyyyyyyy is the best!!! We heard he was great and he was even better! He was always ready with thoughtful information on Tanzania and the people, on animals on the land. He is a warm kind caring and extremely funny and entertaining guide. We can’t even imagine doing another safari with anyone else. He was extremely punctual – he was always dressed and ready to go well before we were. Also he was seriously a lion whisperer. We saw 52 lions, and not just far away. It was like he … Read More
We had a fantastic time!
Willy was fantastic! He wanted to make our safari exactly what we wanted. He had good insight into what and where we would see animals. He is very knowledgeable about the areas and all of the animals. He suggested we get up for sunrise the last day to go and revisit an area where there was a leopard. We were able to then see the leopard in action. Willy is passionate about the land and the animals.
