Elly is the Greatest Of All Time :-)
This was my third Safari (Kenya, South Africa and this time Tanzania) and I never had such a knowledgeable, devoted, helpful and genuinely caring guide as Elly. He had an in depth knowledge of all the animals and birds we saw (and we saw them all), impeccable manners, was always calm and patient (even in the face of our very challenging teenager’s behaviour and moods at times). He also has superb driving skills (safe on the road but very advanced off road driving skills in the Serengeti which saved us several times from getting stuck for hours in the mud). We always felt safe and listened to at all times.
“What an amazing family experience. From the moment Willy picked us up at the airport to the moment he dropped us off we felt right at home. It’s hard to put into words the experience because it was truly life changing. You’d expect that we would say seeing lions (and boy did Willy the lion whisperer know how to find lions!) was the highlight. Don’t get me wrong that was wild! But our connection with Willy and doing things like visiting an orphanage and going to his house for a typical African dinner were outstanding. To have a little glimmer of how people in another country and culture live is to forage a lasting connection. We cried when we had to part with Willy because he had become family to us”
