Wonderful Wilfred
Wilfred was everything one could hope for in a guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable in addition to being kind, an excellent driver, and having amazing eyesight. He would spot animals in the distance while driving that some of us needed binoculars to spot. We got to see the big 5 and even part of the great migration (which Wilfred made a special effort to get us to because he knew we wanted to see that).
One of the most amazing experiences we had was after having stopped for our bush lunch in the shade with several other Jeeps. Wilfred and the other guides noticed in the distance that a lion had taken down a zebra, so after lunch we all drove over to see what we could see and sure enough, there were two lions feasting on their fresh zebra. We then noticed a lioness on the other side of the road. Wilfred initially thought that she was going to join the other two but when she didn’t walk towards them, Wilfred told us that she had taken down her own zebra and was going to get her cubs. None of the other guides figured it out so we were all alone when the lioness came back, just like Wilfred said, and crossed directly in front of our Jeep with her 3 cubs following closely behind! And this is just one example of what were daily experiences!
“Casey was great to work with. He always had the answers to our questions and got back to us quickly. He gave us lots of suggestions and tips things to think about that were very useful too. The pre-trip call with Casey was very helpful too. It helped ease whatever concerns we had and answered all our last-minute questions so we felt prepared for our trip. Some other things A2T helped with were details to use when filling out the Visa forms. With their info it was straightforward. They gave us guidance on exchanging money, asked what kind of soda we liked, took our dietary restrictions into account for the various camps we stayed at. All things big and small they helped us with.”
