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.
“From the moment I met Brian at a local travel show, I knew that Access 2 Tanzania was the tour operator for us. His extensive experience in Tanzania and involvement with Project Zawadi immediately instilled a sense of trust
The planning process was easy. You listened to our preferences, immediately responded to all of our questions, and provided us with valuable travel advice. The accommodations were beautiful, comfortable, and offered outstanding hospitality.
Our guide, Elly, was amazing! His professionalism and expertise allowed us to experience all of the wildlife at the five national parks we visited. In addition, he provided us insight into the traditions and customs of Moshi and the Maasai. By the end of our tour, Elly felt like a member of the family.”
