Trip of a Lifetime
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.
“A2T is a first-rate safari company who really listens to get a handle on what you want from a safari/trip to Tanzania and works hard to provide a final itinerary within your budget, even if it takes multiple drafts. We appreciate that they are relatively small, and focus just on Tanzania, so they know their product really well. An added plus for us is how ethically they manage their business — they employ their guides all year round and will not use guides from the outside — if a time period fills up and all guides are assigned, then it is full. It was important to us that A2T uses some of its resources to help the Tanzanian people through Project Zawadi. It is even more impressive to understand just how much of a priority this project is to the owners now that we have visited. We can’t imagine travelling with any other company.”
