A2T and Willy exceeded expectations, over delivered, and made our trip a success!
Willy greeted us with a warm smile, hug and handshake the first time we met him. He was ALWAYS early and waiting for us. Willy was warm, caring, patient, and did an excellent job of positioning the vehicle to get the best photos while balancing that with respecting the animals. He also was a master at balancing the amount of time we spent watching animals with moving on to explore. I never felt rushed. His attention to detail was excellent. Right from the start ….having cold bottled water available in each of our water holders, he explained all the features of the vehicle including the awesome charging station, the bean bags for steadying our cameras, and every day we started with a clean vehicle. He was extremely knowledgeable, and I appreciated that he used the guide books when asked a question he needed to research further in order to answer our questions. We were so surprised when we checked into our room in Dar es Salaam and received a call from Willy to make sure we got there safely. He was such a professional and did an excellent job!
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
