Only positive notes regarding Wilfred. What a professional! What I appreciated most was that he got a feel for our group right away and knew what intrigued my parents—whether in terms of wildlife, general facts about Tanzania, or anything else. Everything felt like clockwork and ran smoothly; we would have a briefing about the next day (like what time to meet and when to expect to be back), and it all went accordingly. We were also in awe of his ability to be incredibly aware of his surroundings and proactive in getting us to the best spots. Not to frame it as competition with other drivers/guides out in the field, but time and time again we noticed how Wilfred strategically anticipated where wildlife would go and got us to those spots before other drivers did.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
