This was our second time with both A2T and Willy. On our first trip, he was great — really took care of us, found what we wanted to see, and made for a super-smooth and exciting safari. This time he even surpassed that. He not only would find what we wanted to see, but get us in the best position for experiencing and photographing it. He’s a pleasure to be with and always attentive to our needs, whether expressed or not. He has a great sense of what animals are going to do next and to put us in spots for the best view. For example, the last river crossing we had was at sunset, with the sunset in the background, and the wildebeest coming up the bank next to us. Another was observing a pride of 10 lions with 9 cubs, 5 of whom had to swim a pond in order to get to their returning moms to suckle — we were in the middle of the action and NOT disturbing them at all.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
