Awesome guide provides 10/10 safari experience
Joachim was a fantastic guide. This was my third safari (first was in Uganda in 2013, second in Kenya 2015, with other companies). My prior two safaris had fine guides, we saw all the animals we wanted to see, but it was more a punch the clock attitude, not much chatting, and no “extra” info. Joachim, in contrast, was very friendly, always present with us — answering questions, adding information about animals we were seeing or the parks and their history, and also giving us quiet time when we were tired. He never took personal calls in front of us or otherwise seemed distracted.
Joachim was also very knowledgeable about the parks, animals, and Tanzanian history. We enjoyed learning from him. He was attentive to when we wanted to spend more time observing animals and when we were ready to move on. He was also a very safe and good driver!
Most of all, Joachim was friendly, genuine, and really looked out for us. For instance, when we flew out of Manyara, Joachim waited at the airport until our flight departed.
“We had an amazing trip to Tanzania as a family of 12. Thanks to Casey’s planning, attention to detail and hearing our requests our trip went off seamlessly from lodging/sleeping arrangements to personalized touches celebrating birthdays, etc. Access 2 Tanzania made our trip stress free and enjoyable every step of the way. Casey even went the extra mile to help us rebook a connecting flight as Kenya Airlines cancelled our connection from Nairobi on the way to TZ. We were stuck at the Nairobi airport, he was able to call and help get us rebooked on a different flight. Also our Access 2 Tanzania guides Noel and Joachim took care of everything we needed. They started out as guides and when we left they felt like family. Would 100% recommend Access 2 Tanzania especially with Casey as your consultant.”
