Elly is the Greatest Of All Time :-)
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.
“Great! We picked A2T because it seemed easier to work with a US-based agent but we appreciated the fact that it is also a Tanzanian company, with regularly employed Tanzanians in the office and as guides. Karen’s recommendations for lodging and activities turned out to be spot-on; our guide, Willy, was terrific, and we appreciated Casey’s accessibility and willingness to problem-solve when the need arose. I don’t have a basis for comparison but I am an experienced traveler, and I was impressed at each stage of the operation.”
