Nasibu was a VERY EXPERT driver on difficult terrain. We felt very safe with him. He was able to spot animals with the simplest clues of faraway flicks of ears in the grass! We had some unique experiences enabling us to see some beautiful and elusive animals up close, including cheetahs, leopards, and lions. His sense of timing was great – we were able to see a lion hunt (from a bit of a distance) and we were able to see a MASSIVE (thousands at one site) migration of wildebeests – we waited perhaps a half hour or so before seeing the first wildebeests crossing (we understand that many wait all day to see this). Because of his skill and expertise, we saw so many wonderful animals up close and personal. Nasibu was also so respectful of animals, and especially not to overcrowd them because that could mean the difference between a successful hunt for prey or not.
“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!”
