We can’t say enough positive things about our guide Barney. He was knowledgeable, friendly, interested in our questions and opinions and managed to pique our interest in things that we didn’t know we wanted to know about. Despite some long days, he was always enthusiastic and prepared for the next adventure and was a particularly apt role model of hakuna matata. He was a skillful driver over some very bumpy roads, even as he scouted out wildlife hiding both near and far. We learned a lot about Tanzanian culture and recent history from him, as well as animal, plant and insect habitats and their symbiotic relationship. He did an excellent job creating special moments for us and gave us a glimpse into how people live and work during our brief stay in Arusha. He was a comfortable and fun person to be around and our friends and family have heard many Barney stories as we’ve shared tales from our trip. Asante sana, Barney.
“We loved our experience. The entire trip exceeded our expectations. From the high touch connection with Wilfred, to the wonderful experience, to the finely tuned perfect itinerary, we could not have asked for anything more. While in Tanzania, we felt we were treated special and the trip was customized in real time to meet our needs- our request to eat local Tanzanian food, our request to see all kinds of wildlife beyond the big five to include birds, insects, reptiles, the babboons and the dung beetle. Everything worked according to plan during the trip and we came back with rave reviews.”
