Our best safari of all time by far
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.
“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”
