Willy is the best
Willy was unbelievable. He could spot the animals like he has a sixth sense but also could predict their behavior, and knew how to drive so we’d get the best view. Knew which birds would always be in pairs. Knew when the rhino would change position so we would get a better look. He was unbelievably patient with me and my bad eyesight and made sure I saw every animal he saw. So patient with my constant questions and asking to stop or stay longer. Such a kind person who helped out other, newer drivers, gave a push to someone stuck in the mud, even made sure people with other guides could see the animals he saw when we were stopped for lunch. Gave our leftover lunch food to people who would appreciate it. Every guide seemed to know Willy and greeted him with a huge smile. He was unfailingly cheerful. He is an excellent driver and I always felt very safe with him.
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
