Noel was great! He worked so hard and was truly dedicated to ensuring we saw as much as we could.  He was also very patient and offered his expertise – for example if we wanted to watch a herd of elephants for 2 hours he would let us without any complaints. He is also a genuinely nice person and we enjoyed our time with him.

Noel was an absolute gem! He was so sweet and accommodating and also knew everything! The few things he wasn’t sure of he would research and get back to us that same day or the next – even down to a little red tick that I was interested in! He drove us expertly all over, gave us info about what we were seeing no matter if it was an animal, a plant, a shop, a mode of transportation, a kind of food, etc. It was a joy to spend time with him and he was excellent with our kids.

Noel was charming and “read” us perfectly. He provided insight on the animals and consulted his book for further information as needed. He was not afraid to turn on the air conditioner when needed to avoid the bugs and was able to ensure the fridge was cold for the beer required on the long drives. He was adept at maneuvering to the best location for our pictures even with many other vehicles around.

Noel was thoughtful, knowledgeable, conscientious and fun-loving. He answered questions with integrity and was willing to help out other guides from other companies (like when someone got stuck in the mud).

Noel was amazing, he had great knowledge of the animals, the people and the landscape. He kept everyone engaged.

Noel was all-in 110%. Unstoppable and determined to make sure we had the best possible experience. We are avid wildlife watchers and he worked hard to show us all he could. More importantly, he was an incredibly nice and sincere guy. Curious, honest and willing to share his knowledge. We had a lot of meaningful discussions about the wildlife, the world and life in general.

Noel was great. Super friendly. Knew the areas well. Made the effort to improve our chances of seeing everything we wanted. Fun, positive attitude and energy.

Noel made our experience in Tanzania with Access 2 Tanzania an incredible adventure. He was very patient with all of our questions, knowledgeable about the animals and plants and, because he valued accuracy, thorough in his occasional search for correct identification, open to explaining his culture, able to take friendly ribbing, hospitable, and funny, as well as careful and respectful in his driving habits. We were very comfortable with his following the law about not going off-road through the bush; however, we saw other guides who had no compunction about flaunting the rule: one driver chased a cheetah mother and her cub through the high grass so that his clients could get a better look at them! Noel was also very open to our inquiries about how and why he became a guide, his family, and his daily life. He was certainly someone with whom I was happy to spend 12 hours a day. At the end of the trip we practically viewed him as a son and he addressed me with the same respectful greeting that he would his mother.

Again, I would highly recommend Noel. He was so kind and respectful of us and tried to meet our needs as well as showing us the beauty and majesty of his country. We enjoyed our week with him and have extended an invitation for him to visit us in the States. His knowledge of the Serengeti and ability to locate the animals was great. We saw all of the big 5 and many more.

Noel was fantastic. He was very attentive to all of our needs, however small. He is very personable, friendly, and engaging to talk with. He expressed a genuine interest in talking with us and sharing his country and culture with us. After a week together it was difficult to say goodbye. He’s a keeper.
