Access2Tanzania travel company-don’t look any further when you have found the best!
Great! Great! Great! Everyone was so comfortable as you could tell Willy knew what he was talking about. On the first night, after arriving late at the airport, we were hungry and he suggested we stop for chicken at a curbside venue. We were so instantly trusting of him that we said “sure” and had such a good chicken meal sitting at a small table at almost midnight on our first visit to Africa! The safaris were awesome. He was well known by other tour company drivers and he said he had actually trained some of them. He found animals that some of us had trouble finding even while he was pointing right at them. He would let us have a few minutes to see them and then he would call on the radio and alert other drivers. His English was very good. If he didn’t understand something he was quick to ask for a translation to better understand. You could tell he was so willing to learn about us. He was very empathetic. Sylvia has a hearing deficit and was hesitant to say anything (I totally forgot about this!). Frank finally spoke up that Sylvia was having a hard/impossible time hearing what Willy was saying. From that moment on she sat in the front seat and Willy was very sensitive to the situation. Biggy was so great also. Fit right in with our group. Great chef!
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
