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.
“Outstanding in every way. The entire organization was professional, responsive, and informative from the first phone conversation until the final good byes at the airport to come home. Casey delivered on everything that was requested, augmented and improved the vaguest of ideas, and ensured that every detail was seen to. And David – how can I speak kindly enough about someone who meant so much to our family and whose prowess, patience, and personality literally made dreams come true? Exceptional work on the part of everyone at A2T.”
