Our guide, Raymond, was the highlight of our trip. When you are traveling to a country such as Tanzania with the goal of seeing lots of wildlife, your trip is completely dependent on your tour guide. We really lucked out to get a courteous, knowledgeable, and fun guide in Raymond. We felt completely safe as he was a very good driver and we saw so much wildlife as Raymond was often the one that would spot the animals. One of the days, Raymond was the one that spotted a cheetah with five cubs on a hunt and notified other tour guides so others could see the amazing action that we were watching. We felt that we had not only a guide, but a new friend in Raymond.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
