Amazing trip of a lifetime!
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.
“Overall, we had a very good impression of A2T as a company. A2T had been undoubtedly very customer-oriented, which was evident from the very beginning of the tour, that is, booking. The extra mile A2T spent on calls to understand our requirements and then come up with the final itinerary was ver assuring. Later we almost had to backtrack from the trip due to Ebola concerns, and the extra time allowed for us to make the final decision was very helpful.
Later on during the trip, we had a special situation which required overnight usage of electricity. Our guide, Mussa, and Stella from the Arusha office really reached out to resolve that issue by sending a charger from Arusha to Karatu. The solution was impressive (also unexpected), and it became just another good example of A2T’s emphasis on customer services.
Our guide, Mussa, was great. We all liked him very much. I will talk more about him later (assuming there is another column to discuss).”
