I can’t say enough about how great Alex was. He was kind, thoughtful, humble, knowledgeable, funny, easy going, and seemed to anticipate what we wanted and needed. As a group of four women, we always felt safe. He gave us advice on how to handle different situations such as some of the more aggressive souvenir vendors which was perfect. Anne had been to Kenya and had seen four of the “big five,” so, daily, she told Alex, how she was expecting to see that fifth animal, a leopard. He handled all of our ribbing with grace, and we did indeed, get to see more than one leopard! How he could spot some of the animals was amazing. He was always very careful driving, too. I hated saying good bye to him!
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
