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.
“I was incredibly impressed by Access 2 Tanzania. From out initial consultation experiences with Casey to our wonderful experiences on safari with our guide Ray, your company is unrivaled. In addition, we were highly impressed when Access 2 Tanzania was able to find us wonderful accommodations last minute after our original accommodations were shut down due to a fire. Other companies would not have worked that diligently to rectify the situation. Finally, the entire trip was very well organized and well paced, striking the right balance between adventure and relaxation.”
