Noel is a knowledgeable, caring soul who related well with all the personalities in our families. He knew what he was doing at all times. I must commend him for handling the very challenging driving conditions/roads throughout the trip. He showed great concern and empathy when one member of our group had a bad health day. A video we have of him dancing with our youngest son (who is 32) in the middle of the Serengeti and finding music on the radio that our son wanted showed Noel’s ability to relate to different people. He communicated well with us about what we wanted, made great suggestions and interacted effectively with other guides to get us to what we wanted relatively quickly. He always had a positive and empathetic attitude.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
