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.
“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.”
