Testimonials

“We were very pleased with Access 2 Tanzania! From our first communications with Karen, to all the details that made our trip a success, to our awesome guide, Noel, to our interactions with other team members, Access 2 Tanzania made planning & then going on this trip a resounding success! We couldn’t have felt more comfortable with a tour operator than we did with Access 2 Tanzania.”

“If you’re looking for a doorway into the world of Tanzania’s parks and wildlife, look no further! We’re very happy with our experience with A2T. From Casey’s initial response to the final itinerary, Casey helped us plan a memorable and exciting trip, asking many questions, listening to our feedback and changing things as necessary. He and Karen provided timely service and essential information about traveling to Tanzania and life on safari. Their lists, videos, and visa instructions were so helpful. Our itinerary was very well calibrated, so that each camp and park experience was different from the other, becoming progressively more exciting and magical in totally different ways! The transfer from the Seronera Airport to Stone Town was seamless, despite our bittersweet kwaheri to the mainland and Barney. Casey recommended we stay at Rivertrees Inn in Arusha on arrival, which was a good call for a soft landing after a long couple days of international travel. Thank you for helping us plan an incredible adventure!”

“Outstanding. We have recommended you to all of our traveler friends. We cannot recommend Access 2 Tanzania highly enough. They were referred to us by a friend and we were immediately attracted by the nonprofit component of the company that supports education for Tanzanian children in need. Casey helped us over several phone sessions and email exchanges to put together the perfect trip for our needs. Our guide, Joachim, was a wonderful companion and friend throughout our 12 day safari. He ensured that we saw everything that we could possibly have seen far beyond our best expectations, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards with cubs and with kills, tons of elephants, giraffe, zebras, hippos, antelopes of various kinds, and every other imaginable animal. We were able to witness the migration of the wildebeasts across the Mara River from Kenya and on throughout the Serengeti in their long lines, stretching from one horizon to the other. He was also extremely helpful in aiding us in finding and identifying the many, many birds of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, which was of particular interest to us. A2T provided us with an amazing experience and we would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to others.”

“A great company to work with to plan a trip of a lifetime to Tanzania on Safari and Zanzibar. From the very first meeting with Casey until we were dropped at the airport in Zanzibar for our flight home, everything went smoother than we would have ever imagined. The company was so easy to work with, and really understood what we imagined this adventure to be.”

“I had an amazing experience- A2T were very knowledgeable and prepared an amazing itinerary for us!”

“We had the best time with A2T. The car was very clean and well maintained with no issues. It was kept clean by our driver Wilfred and everything went so well. Everything felt easy and all of the guidance and preplanning and suggestions by our guide made everything great!”

“Loved it! Not sure on your other guides, David was amazing! I kept asking him to get out of the car and he wouldn’t let me, by the end he said just go, just kidding LOL – we had so much fun with him. He was so knowledgeable about animals, birds, the area, the people – it was wonderful. As the days wore on we could see how lucky we were to have David with his experience.”

“I held the role of our group’s travel agent. Your in-office team was extremely helpful and accessible during the entire pretrip process. Your pretrip videos were also very helpful.”

“Access 2 Tanzania were very professional and organized. Seems devoted to excellent customer experiences. They helped to modify our trips to our needs.”

“Great!”

“Karen was very helpful in planning our trip and we could not have asked for it to turn out any better. Going to Africa on a Safari had been on my bucket list since I was in high school. And they went over and above to make my dream come true. It was the most amazing trip I have ever been on. I love the way they set up our campsites from primitive to luxury. I loved every camp we went too. The first and second was a little scary from time to time hearing the roaring, screaming and chatting throughout the night from the elephants, lions, zebras and hyenas. I would not have changed one thing about the trip. And then when we got to Zanzibar at The Baraza Resort it was absolutely beautiful and the staff was over the top very friendly and was there to take care of us the entire trip. We felt like kings and queens. We went into Stone Town one day and really enjoyed that tour, and of course shopping. I would definitely recommend them for your trip to Tanzania.”

“A2T did a really good job of creating an incredible vacation. The pre-trip emails and zoom calls provided adequate information for an enjoyable trip without surprises. Our guide, Raymond, was amazing!”

“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”

“It’s a top notch company with excellent attention to detail, support, and communication. Karen listened and understood our goals and preferences for our trip and followed through to make sure the time, guide, and accommodations were tailored to our needs.”

“We had a fantastic experience throughout the planning process and during our Safari. It was clear from the start how knowledgable Karen was. The attention to detail to ensure we had the best possible experience was obvious and much appreciated. I had full confidence going into our Safari that we had picked the right company to give us exactly the Safari experience we were looking for.”

“Very knowledgeable, A2T put together an excellent itinerary.”
