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 had a fabulous adventure. We saw so many animals in the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Our guide Willy helped us see so many things. His knowledge base for the areas and the animals was great. He anticipated animals coming into the area, mating and where we may see the animals. He used my camera to help focus in on the areas when we were struggling to see the animals (mostly in trees). The pre-trip emailed information, videos, etc. were helpful.”
