Wilfred is wonderful. For him it was a week. I suspect my children will remember him for their lifetimes.
His work ethic is unmatched compared to other guides from different trips we’ve taken. He worked tirelessly to make our experience enjoyable. He was constantly in contact with other guides to help find the animals on safari. And not only did he make an effort to find them, he also made sure to get us in just the right spot for the perfect picture. He was also patient, kind and conscientious regarding our children.
Wilfred’s English is fantastic. His knowledge about animals – from knowing specific facts to knowledge about behavior to recognizing and reproducing their sounds – is phenomenal. And I think he must have super-hero eyes. He was spotting animals, while driving the Land Rover, that I could barely see with the binoculars. And regarding super-hero powers – I have no other way to comprehend 1. how he could drive on those roads and 2. how he knew where we were going. Nothing was marked and we were out in the savannah with limited landmarks.
“Great! We picked A2T because it seemed easier to work with a US-based agent but we appreciated the fact that it is also a Tanzanian company, with regularly employed Tanzanians in the office and as guides. Karen’s recommendations for lodging and activities turned out to be spot-on; our guide, Willy, was terrific, and we appreciated Casey’s accessibility and willingness to problem-solve when the need arose. I don’t have a basis for comparison but I am an experienced traveler, and I was impressed at each stage of the operation.”
