Tanzania Guide: Joachim
Best guides ever.
Our guides Noel and Joachim started out as strangers and left as family. We could not have ask for more informative, earnest, trustworthy and fun guides. By day 3 on our safari we had a “kids” Land Rover and adult Land Rover. Both Noel and Joachim spent 7+ hours on safari with a truck full of 6 boys ages 6-17. The kids loved it and so did the parents. That is an example of how much we trusted, respected and appreciated our guides. They were ALWAYS pleasant, prompt, communicative and … Read More
Terrific experience
Joachim was excellent. He stayed engaged at all times (not on his phone while we took photos, etc.) Knew (or convincingly made up!) many details about the plants and animals we saw. As well, he offered lots of cultural insights.
Excellent All-Around Guide
We are so lucky that we had Joachim as our guide! During our time together there are so many things that we learned from him that made a huge difference in the quality of our journey to Tanzania. He was always kind and considerate about any need that we had and he emphasized that our safety was always first. As a driver, he is careful, courteous and very skilled with driving on difficult roads as smoothly as possible (plus driving through the insanity of crowded downtown Arusha roads). In addition, … Read More
Awesome guide provides 10/10 safari experience
Joachim was a fantastic guide. This was my third safari (first was in Uganda in 2013, second in Kenya 2015, with other companies). My prior two safaris had fine guides, we saw all the animals we wanted to see, but it was more a punch the clock attitude, not much chatting, and no “extra” info. Joachim, in contrast, was very friendly, always present with us — answering questions, adding information about animals we were seeing or the parks and their history, and also giving us quiet time when we were … Read More
A Perfect 10
My family of 5 ( 3 daughters – age 19, 22, 23) just finished a 10 day Tanzania trip and couldn’t have been more impressed with Access2Tanzania. Would highly highly recommend!!! We started working with Karen in the summer of 2018 for a December 2020 safari. Of course COVID got in the way… but they were consummate professionals throughout that time and then when we re-engaged with them over the last 18 months for this trip. She couldn’t have been more knowledgeable and helpful curating our trip in regards to … Read More
EXCELLENT SERVICE
Joachim was extremely professional and knowledgeable. I asked A LOT of questions about Tanzania government/culture as well as the animals. He answered everything in detail. He is also a very safe driver and has a great rapore with all of the other hospitality workers that we came into contact with.
Exceeded our expectations.
We had 2 guides Noel and Joachim. They were phenomenal!! They were very tuned in to our groups wants and needs and everyday they met and exceeded our expectations. They were fun, interesting and super knowledgeable about the animals and culture of Tanzania. They went above and beyond to make our time with them amazing. Thanks to them and their guidance it was a trip of a lifetime and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. We traveled in a group of 12 with 6 kids aged … Read More
Joachim is the best
We had an amazing experience, and we attribute the joy, success, and adventure of the trip to our guide (and now friend for life), Joachim. From picking us up at the airport, Joachim was extremely attentive to our needs, telling us “your wish is my command”, and he went above and beyond to deliver on that message. He was consistently checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. He has great communication skills – speaking very clear English, but more importantly, doing an excellent job communicating the agenda, … Read More
Wonderful trip that far exceeded expectations – thank you Joachim!
Joachim was phenomenal!!! As stated previously, we connected with Joachim from our first brief meeting the day before we began our safari. He was a very effective communicator and was sensitive on picking up on our needs. He could tell when we wanted to stay and observe animals, and knew when to ask if we were ready to move on. We felt comfortable sharing our thoughts and asking him questions. When we set out on our safari we didn’t have a particular “check-list” of animals we wanted to see. Joachim … Read More
