Our group of 20 had four wonderful guides: Noel, Fulgence, Wilfred, and Nasibu. Each was a gem–excellent drivers, unbelievable spotters of wildlife. In addition, Noel was kindness personified, with a smile to light up the world. Fulgence served as a group spark-plug, getting as excited about seeing an animal as we did (and he sweetly accommodated my wish to get to church services on Good Friday). Wilfred was a planner, able to predict where the animals were going and actually arriving there before they did; he was always patient. Nasibu was as deeply versed in the the wildlife and topography as the other three and was the best dancer. Several of us actually cried at Kilimanjaro Airport when said good bye to four wonderful men.
“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.”
