Wild Kingdom experience
Wilfred was great. I recognize that he has been doing this for 10 years, but it still seemed like he had bionic eyes. He could identify animals that just looked like a spot to me until I used binoculars. We saw a rig drive off but Wilfred stopped and an adult lion was laying there in the grass, the other driver had not seen him. He also had patience, both with letting nature unfold such as a cheetah hunting and taking down a gazelle and with my older parents.
“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.”
