Once in a Lifetime Trip – Turned into More
Wilfred was spectacular at finding everything and reading the situation to get us in the best location for my photos at the same time was respectful of other guides and length of time in premium spots for viewing. He has built connections and respect from the other guides on wildlife finds and warnings. I loved his story about being a chef and working his way up through college and how he loves what he does, such a great story of dedication and hard work. I ended up getting sick one day (travel day to the Mara region) and Wilfred was so kind and gentle and concerned about how I was feeling. When I felt better the next day, he was so excited I was back to being ME!! I think he missed me asking all my question and chatting about all the photos. Wilfred taught me trust and patience in just one week, I learned to sit back and trust he would find us the most spectacular events. Wilfred made us feel so confident in his driving and decisions when choosing the roads.
“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”
