We loved our time with Elly! He was so personable, knowledgeable, and wanted to meet our needs. We had lots of questions and he would answer them. He would also share his books to point out more about the animals or trees. He was also good at talking to other guides to help them when needed and find animals for us. Twice another guide got stuck and he helped them. You can really tell Elly has a big heart and loves his job! We enjoyed eating meals with him and our conversations! He has a calm and caring presence! His knowledge and how he presented information to us was so valuable. He shared his story about the ties with Access 2 Tanzania. You can tell that he is a loyal, dedicated, and hardworking person. He shares many values that we do and we really enjoyed connecting with him. He truly made the safari experience outstanding!!! At dinners he would ask what the best part of the day was. All of us would think and share! We would then come up with the animals we wanted to see and he would help us devise the plan for the next day. His knowledge, communication, and English was great! I also enjoyed learning Swahili words from him and about the history of the Serengeti. I can’t speak highly enough about Elly and our amazing experience! You have a gem with him as a safari guide!
“If you’re looking for a doorway into the world of Tanzania’s parks and wildlife, look no further! We’re very happy with our experience with A2T. From Casey’s initial response to the final itinerary, Casey helped us plan a memorable and exciting trip, asking many questions, listening to our feedback and changing things as necessary. He and Karen provided timely service and essential information about traveling to Tanzania and life on safari. Their lists, videos, and visa instructions were so helpful. Our itinerary was very well calibrated, so that each camp and park experience was different from the other, becoming progressively more exciting and magical in totally different ways! The transfer from the Seronera Airport to Stone Town was seamless, despite our bittersweet kwaheri to the mainland and Barney. Casey recommended we stay at Rivertrees Inn in Arusha on arrival, which was a good call for a soft landing after a long couple days of international travel. Thank you for helping us plan an incredible adventure!”
