When we landed in Tanzania our guide Danny was waiting for us outside baggage claim at the airport. He would be our guide for 9 days, from our airport arrival to our airport departure, all day, every day, and he was GREAT! We saw all the ‘big’ animals we wanted to see and many more. We got to see ALL the ‘big’ animals with Danny, many of them quite close. He worked well with the other Access guides so if they saw something they could call Danny in, and vise versa. Such good memories of the animals we saw. From the initial elephants and giraffes we saw on our walking tour, to the baby elephant trumpeting, to the cheetahs and leopards, to the 30-lion strong pride we saw on our final driving day. And it wasn’t just the big animals Danny knew about. He could tell you what bird you were looking at, tell you about the trees and flowers, etc. We didn’t talk much about bugs, but I’m sure he knows all about those too. 🙂 On our last day we were going to look for more big cats and weren’t having a ton of luck. One of our…

I can’t say enough good things about Danny. He is a brother and family member now. He made the entire experience so wonderful. I would go back just to see him and will be recommending him for any friends I know traveling to Africa.

Stellar! Danny was 15/10. I really can’t express enough how not only his personality was perfect for our family, but his knowledge about the animals and area was great. He was always respectful of the animals and would get us into the perfect position for picture taking. He went above I believe to get us to areas to see amazing sights. We absolutely loved spending so much time with him. I definitely realize that a guide could make or break your trip and Danny far exceeded the making it for us. I’ve never left a vacation before and cried. I didn’t want to say goodbye to him.

Danny was outstanding. He was attentive, respectful, provided info and answered questions clearly in a voice that carried above the vehicle. He struck a balance between being our good friend and an efficient and organized leader.

Danny was friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and just great. We felt totally safe and in good hands with him. He was able to answer so many nature questions for us. He clearly knew all the unmarked roads well and navigating through rough terrain far better than anyone I’ve ever seen. He knew where to take us to get the best views, and had sharp eyes to see wildlife. He took care of us and made it fun. He took us to a great local lunch place which we really enjoyed in Arusha. We were able to learn a lot about the people of Tanzania from him and the people who he introduced us to. We are really appreciative of him!

Danny was a great guide. He was fun, caring, and highly competent. We had a few exclusive views, and he found animals in places where other guides said they didn’t see anything. He seems to have a sixth sense that helps him anticipate the moves of the animals. He’s also got really keen eyesight! He made everything fun, and took great care of us.

Danny was amazing. He has an incredible ability to spot animals and birds. He also anticipated the movement of animals (cheetahs, leopards, crocodiles, lions) in order to provide our group with the best views. We were very well taken care of.

Danny was hospitable, helpful, accommodating and informative with questions we asked. He was professional and safety was clearly a priority.

We were blown away by Danny’s ability to spot wildlife. He would be driving on rough roads and then call out wildlife that we would never see without him. Very friendly.
