Excellent. In terms of skill as a guide (knowledge of wildlife, the parks, how to find what we wanted to see, etc.), Wilfred was great. Just as importantly, though, Wilfred was excellent on a personal level. He was friendly, funny and personable and we enjoyed spending our days with him. At the same time, he was excellent at reading the situation and knowing what kind of clients we were. As an example, since it was our honeymoon and a time for us to relax, sometimes we wanted to just sit and stare out the window without chatting much as we drove or call it a day a little early so we could relax by the pool or on the porch of our tent / lodge. He clearly understood that without us even having to say anything. Of course, we knew we knew we could dictate our schedule but it was so much easier when your guide anticipates what you’ll want to do even before you say anything. Overall, he was great.
“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.”
