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.
“Excellent. From the beginning, Karen helped us design a custom trip that fit our interests. For example, my partner is very interested in birds. We got birds. We were interested in avoiding crowds. We did, as much as possible. And the choice of Mkomazi was ideal. There were remarkably few glitches along the way, and Joachim addressed each of them with calm professionalism. The trip was as close to perfect as we could have imagined. From Karen’s initial consultations to Joachim’s expert guiding, we could not have asked for more.”
