Alex Helped Make My Dream Trip True!
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!
“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.”
