This was my third Safari (Kenya, South Africa and this time Tanzania) and I never had such a knowledgeable, devoted, helpful and genuinely caring guide as Elly. He had an in depth knowledge of all the animals and birds we saw (and we saw them all), impeccable manners, was always calm and patient (even in the face of our very challenging teenager’s behaviour and moods at times). He also has superb driving skills (safe on the road but very advanced off road driving skills in the Serengeti which saved us several times from getting stuck for hours in the mud). We always felt safe and listened to at all times.
“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!”
