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.
“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.”
