“Access 2 Tanzania was fabulous, accommodating, and kind. Casey planned our trip but he also served as a therapist to us in some ways! My husband was nervous to travel to Africa, especially with our two kids but Casey spent a great amount of time walking us through everything and assuring us that we would be safe and that anything we needed would be taken care of. Casey was also always available for every crazy and detailed question we had. He was extremely patient with us and we thoroughly enjoyed all of the detailed information he provided us. It made us feel so much more relaxed about the trip.”
