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 of things. His concern and care for fellow guides and fellow citizens was inspiring to watch.
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
