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 staff. Casey was extremely responsive in planning the trip. I had certain things I did and didn’t want to do, he tailored our experience accordingly (and with keeping our budget in mind). The trip was perfectly proportioned, mostly because of him. Our guide on the ground, Wilfred, spent 12 days with us. We couldn’t have asked for someone better. We became comfortable companions, easily sitting together in silence over long drives or telling stories during dinner. He didn’t wait for us to ask something, he anticipated our needs. When he saw we didn’t finish our lunch boxes, he asked us what we liked and didn’t like. He made sure to relay the information to the hotels and we finished out lunches going forward. He saw I had an itch to get into the Wildebeest migration. Even though it was far away and our chances of finding it could be small, he made sure it happened. The staff set everything apart, especially when we compared it to our tour companies we saw in the area.”
