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 really appreciated how straightforward and simple the process was—from putting together the itinerary, all the way through the lead-up to the trip. The initial planning call, along with the payment plan, then the pre-trip call to make sure everyone was on the same page (including the helpful YouTube videos)—it all felt seamless. And the best part was truly the expertise and professionalism of Wilfred. He did a wonderful job not only showcasing his knowledge of wildlife and Tanzanian culture, but also really took the time to get a sense of what we wanted out of the trip—even when, at times, we admittedly weren’t the most vocal, simply because we didn’t always know the breadth of possibilities.”
