All you could ask for in a guide — fun, friendly and knowledgeable!
Elly made the trip more than just a safari. He was very patient and willing to share his knowledge of Tanzanian culture and Swahili language, etc. We asked a lot of questions, and he was always approachable and willing to listen. He would ask us what our preferences were and he was a very safe driver. We felt very comfortable the entire time. But it was his ability to make us laugh that made the trip even more memorable for us.
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
