An incredible guide who became a treasured friend

Noel made our experience in Tanzania with Access 2 Tanzania an incredible adventure. He was very patient with all of our questions, knowledgeable about the animals and plants and, because he valued accuracy, thorough in his occasional search for correct identification, open to explaining his culture, able to take friendly ribbing, hospitable, and funny, as well as careful and respectful in his driving habits. We were very comfortable with his following the law about not going off-road through the bush; however, we saw other guides who had no compunction about flaunting the rule: one driver chased a cheetah mother and her cub through the high grass so that his clients could get a better look at them! Noel was also very open to our inquiries about how and why he became a guide, his family, and his daily life. He was certainly someone with whom I was happy to spend 12 hours a day. At the end of the trip we practically viewed him as a son and he addressed me with the same respectful greeting that he would his mother.

“From start to finish, Access 2 Tanzania exceeded all our expectations. The entire experience was incredibly well-organized and every detail was thoughtfully planned. Wilfred, our guide, absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, professional, passionate and made each game drive exciting and memorable. We felt safe, cared for, and truly immersed in the beauty of the wildlife. Seeing all of the Big Five was a highlight of a trip that we will never forget. Highly recommend this company for anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable safari experience.”
