Terrific experience
We thought Willy was a fantastic guide. He was very accommodating and always made sure we were happy with the daily plan, rather than just telling us what we would be doing that day. He was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited and all the animals we saw – any animals we mentioned we would like to see he found for us. He even suggested a slight change to our itinerary in order to do the Crater in the morning instead of the afternoon, as on our original itinerary, so we would have a better chance to see rhinos. We also appreciated that he was very respectful of the animals and the parks. He would always stop to pick up any trash we came across and never crowded or harassed animals, as we saw some other vehicles do.
“The entire trip was superbly planned, down to the tiniest details. In the planning stages, Casey was very receptive to what we were looking to do and was very straightforward about the pros and cons of each aspect of the trip. Once it was booked, he was very helpful with helping us plan and figure out what to expect when we got there. All of his recommendations and bits of advice were spot on. In particular, they went above and beyond when we had a problem during the trip. My wife had a reaction to one of the medications she was taking and we needed to seek out a doctor. Casey, our guide Maningo, and the rest of the A2T crew were on top of it, calling us in the middle of Ngorongoro Crater to make sure we got what we needed. Casey and Maningo got a local American doctor on the phone to consult, and we managed to fix the problem pretty quickly. Everybody was wonderful in a moment where we were feeling a bit nervous about what to do.”
