Barney was absolutely extraordinary in finding and spotting all of the animals that we were excited to see and experience up close, very often before any other guides were aware or present. On one of our days he took us on truly memorable journey to the western Serengeti to see the Great Migration. Barney has a true enthusiasm for and deep knowledge of all of the wildlife, as well as about local culture and history, and he is an excellent teacher in this regard. He is wise, patient (stopping while we took endless photos along the way), has a warm sense of humor (including with our fledgling attempts at speaking Swahili), and shares of himself and his own experiences very generously. Overall, it was an incredible experience, and we would enthusiastically recommend Access 2 Tanzania (and Barney!) to anyone considering such a trip!

“If you’re looking for a doorway into the world of Tanzania’s parks and wildlife, look no further! We’re very happy with our experience with A2T. From Casey’s initial response to the final itinerary, Casey helped us plan a memorable and exciting trip, asking many questions, listening to our feedback and changing things as necessary. He and Karen provided timely service and essential information about traveling to Tanzania and life on safari. Their lists, videos, and visa instructions were so helpful. Our itinerary was very well calibrated, so that each camp and park experience was different from the other, becoming progressively more exciting and magical in totally different ways! The transfer from the Seronera Airport to Stone Town was seamless, despite our bittersweet kwaheri to the mainland and Barney. Casey recommended we stay at Rivertrees Inn in Arusha on arrival, which was a good call for a soft landing after a long couple days of international travel. Thank you for helping us plan an incredible adventure!”
