Perfect Honeymoon Experience
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.
“The entire trip was superbly planned, down to the tiniest details. In the planning stages, Casey was very receptive to what we were looking to do and was very straightforward about the pros and cons of each aspect of the trip. Once it was booked, he was very helpful with helping us plan and figure out what to expect when we got there. All of his recommendations and bits of advice were spot on. In particular, they went above and beyond when we had a problem during the trip. My wife had a reaction to one of the medications she was taking and we needed to seek out a doctor. Casey, our guide Maningo, and the rest of the A2T crew were on top of it, calling us in the middle of Ngorongoro Crater to make sure we got what we needed. Casey and Maningo got a local American doctor on the phone to consult, and we managed to fix the problem pretty quickly. Everybody was wonderful in a moment where we were feeling a bit nervous about what to do.”
