Amazing, wonderful experience
Alex was wonderful. I can’t imagine a more fun person to spend 9 days with. Nothing was a “problem” for him. He answered all our questions. He really was determined to find all the animals for us and we saw the Big Five in the first 3 days. Sometimes I thought he was a magician as he would spot the leopard in the tree, way in the distance. He was also a wonderful driver. I have always suffered from motion sickness and I brought medication and Sea Bands on safari and was prepared to ask for the front seat in the vehicle. Instead I spent 9 days in the far back seat. No motion sickness at all. He was also so patient. At our first lion encounter, I could not see the lions on a hill. Alex gave me very specific directions to find them. I was probably too excited. He came to the back seat and worked with me until I found them. Thank you Alex.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
