Review of Wilfred
In many respects, Wilfred was the perfect guide for us. I don’t know if that was by luck of the draw or by some behind-the-scene planning. Our desire was to be out on Safari for as much of the day as possible and to learn as much about the animals/country/culture as we could. He essentially planned the details and timing of each day accordingly and gladly answered all our questions as well as provided other knowledge along the way, which we greatly appreciated. We found him accommodating and patient. He was always willing to move the vehicle to different spots to aid in better photo ops. His ability to spot animals in the wild was highly impressive. He found animals that we easily would have missed if left to our own devices. We realize he has been doing this awhile but, nonetheless, we still can’t believe some of the animals he spotted. Finally, beyond executing really well on his official duty, Wilfred is a really good person and we enjoyed spending our Safari time with him.
“A2T brings a level of professionalism to every aspect of the safari trip preparation process. We asked for a number of specifics (bean bags for the cameras, an extra battery to power a CPAP) and all was in order in the safari vehicle when we got there. David was asking why we went with A2T and I mentioned using some of these questions to sort through almost 2 dozen tour operators that I contacted on the way to choosing A2T. Having so much information available from A2T at every step of the process, including how to fill out the visa forms (and a link to the form), how much cash to bring for various things, how to pack, etc. makes what is otherwise a complicated and somewhat atypical trip to prepare for very straightforward. Karen spoke with us about why one would wish to choose one versus a different lodge and we found that each one brought a unique, wonderful experience on our trip.”
