Alex is a great guide!
Alex is a very responsive, alert, interesting, and enjoyable to be with guide. He had an uncanny, in a good way, ability to spot animals. He was patient with us and quickly learned that we liked seeing more than just the large mammals. He made an effort to spot birds, insects and reptiles for us. He is knowledgeable about the animals and plants and easily shared information with us. His English is very good. He is likable. He has a respect for the animals and the land. We got along well, but he didn’t “fawn” over us – we liked that. He kept the vehicle clean and well stocked. He saw to our needs and there were no glitches with the lodgings. He was very professional.
“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.”
