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 of things. His concern and care for fellow guides and fellow citizens was inspiring to watch.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
