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.
“Karen was very helpful in designing our trip and helping with planning: there was hardly anything for us to do in preparation! And our guide Said was a skilled naturalist as well as a capable driver. We came across washed out roads twice in our trip, and Said had no trouble getting us through AND helping others who got stuck!”
