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.
“Excellent planning and preparation. So many things could have gone wrong. Thanks to Access 2 Tanzania’s tireless work in paying attention to detail everything worked very smoothly. From the time we met Maningo at the airport in Kilimanjaro till we took off in a 14 seater airplane from the Serengeti plains there was not one snafu. We were greeted at every camp site by someone who knew who we were. We were given lodging instructions and checked in with out a problem. The food was very good and even though we ate salad greens no one got sick. Our driver/guide, Maningo always had bottles of water for us on game drives. Maningo washed the land cruiser every night so we never had a dirty vehicle.”
