A great itinerary and awesome guide make for a fantastic safari!
Joachim was a perfect guide for us. He is very knowledgeable about the animals, plants, countryside, parks, people. He was a careful driver, kept us in the know about any plans or changes, great communicator. We had some great conversations about Tanzania, the US, Norway, cars, teenagers. He knew many of the other guides from A2T and other operators, and it was clear they respected his input on routes, directions, help in general. We liked seeing how much the guides help each other and Joachim definitely was a part of it. He asked if plans were good or we wanted to do anything different (we mostly stuck to the agenda). We would recommend Joachim to everyone.
“I had a fabulous time! My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He accommodated my requests but also used his experience to gently nudge me when he knew better viewing opportunities would occur. I really appreciated that so that I got the best overall experience. I was pleased with the accommodations as well. I was also able to learn a bit about how other companies operate with freelance guides so that made me appreciate Access 2 Tanzania’s business practices even more. I feel good that my money went to an ethical company that also gives back to the communities.”
