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!

“We had a wonderful experience. We did not know what to expect going into organizing this trip but we felt very well supported and felt that the trip was tailored to our needs, interests and preferences. Thanks to the videos, the FAQ pages, the summary document and the videochat we had with Karen ahead of departing we were fully prepared for the trip and didn’t have any surprises.
Our guide Willy was phenomenal. We had a lot of fun driving around with him and we really appreciated his good nature, his knowledge, his passion for the game drives and animals, and his excellent driving skills.”
