Wilfred was excellent. He drove well, he planned out our days, made suggestions and told us what he recommends, drove around to certain areas which ended up being perfect for sightings, and he was very respectful of other guides and visitors. I want to highlight this with an example from Tarangire where a mom cheetah and 2 cubs had just gotten food and there were several vehicles swarming the site. Wilfred realized how this would be problematic and started directing other drivers to angle their cars head on to the scene so that everyone could get a good view and a better chance to see it. He displayed this behavior the whole trip with the respectful driving and helping keep things organized which was much appreciated. He ensured our lunches were packed and helped serve breakfast and lunch and was very informative about the country and animals and our questions.
“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.”
