Wilfred came recommended to us and we can see why. He has a keen eye and there were at least three times where he spotted animals before anyone else and we got an exclusiving viewing. He was also very considerate of my photography requirements and adjusted to support me. We had a great time learning about Tanzanian life and culture and he was a great resource, What we liked best was that he did not focus on the big cats and the big five, but also took the time to show us the birds, the squirrels, the mongooese and the dik-diks. We shared the same philosophy towards animals and had a strong moment of connection when we came across a dik-dik run over by a water tanker and it broke our heart to see the mate in mourning.
“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.”
