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!
“Was a brilliantly organised trip. Casey gave good, honest advice and managed to fit everything into our itinerary. I felt well prepared before my trip and during. We had Fulgence as our guide and could not have had anyone better. He was so organised and so fun to be around. Given that our party consisted of 3 girls, he was very patient and joked around with us, which made our trip even better. Our cook ‘Big’ was great as well. A really good cook and was fun to be around too. We did not stop laughing for a week. The safari was amazing. Fulgence had eyes like a hawk – I have no idea how he spotted some of the animals he did. Overall we would recommend Access 2 Tanzania to anyone looking for a safari to Tanzania.”
