Willy made us feel safe and well cared for…this cannot be understated. This allowed us to relax and settle into the vacation. He planned ahead, communicated well, and adapted as needed. We expected to see lots of animals…which we did. But Willy consistently put us in situations that felt unique and special. He was great at anticipating animal movements, and put us in great position for photos. He even borrowed our camera to take unique pictures…especially with the Masai.
We had a challenging drive from Ndutu to the Serengeti due to rain and muddy roads. Willy kept his composure, despite difficult conditions, and allowed us to stay relaxed. He even stopped to provide assistance to another driver in need. We expected nothing less. A man of high character.
Finally, Willy is an interesting man, and brought a personal touch to the experience. He did a nice job of sharing cultural knowledge, and exposing us to life in Tanzania. He was a pleasure to spend time with…at meals and in the vehicle. We feel very fortunate to have spent the week with Willy.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
