Nasibu was a fantastic guide, he was kind, friendly and was easy to talk to. His English is fantastic and he had a great breadth of knowledge about the animals we were seeing and of the country. Nasibu had an uncanny ability to spot animals that otherwise we would have missed and we always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to catch animals. Nasibu seemed to have good standing with other guides which I think helped to contribute to the success of our safari. He listened to what we wanted to see and then the next day we were always able to find it. we couldn’t have hoped for a better guide.
“Every detail was meticulously planned and perfectly suited to our needs. It was obvious that Karen paid careful attention to how we prefer to experience travel and matched us with a guide who perfectly suited our style. Barney was incredibly professional and let us set the tone and pace. He is an outstanding guide in so many ways; he quickly read us and we bonded immediately. Throughout the journey it was obvious that Barney is well respected by the other guides and they often follow his lead because he knows where to go and how to find the animals. He is also an incredible photographer–I got to a point where I just handed him my phone and he meticulously captured our trip. With no exaggeration, our 8 days with Barney were life changing and we think of him each and every day.
While we requested clean and comfortable accommodations with private baths, every place we stayed far exceeded our expectations. Nyikani and Mara Mara were the standout favorites. I have spoken with folks who were unsure and had reservations about the food that would be provided. We ate incredibly well–food was more than plentiful, very good to extremely delicious, and the soups were the best I have ever eaten. Service was consistently exceptional.
Honestly, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience and have been recommending Access 2 Tanzania and Barney to all we can.”
