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 my very first phone call with Karen, I felt supported and guided. My ideas were listened to and helpful feedback/suggestions/modifications were given. It was a source of comfort to be able to put my trust in Access2Tanzania. From the beginning of the planning stages all the way to the last communications before leaving the USA, to Tanzanian component, to the post trip emails – I knew I was in good hands- that Access2Tanzania truly cared about us and our overall experience. The scheduled phone conferences were so very helpful. The information and links on the Access2Tanzania website were extremely helpful. A2T!!”
