Exceeded expectations
David did an outstanding job in helping us to have the best possible Tanzanian safari experience. He provided expertise and knowledge to see that our schedule fit best with the likely availability of the animals, maneuvered the vehicle so that we could obtain the optimal photographs, showed consideration & respect for other people and animals, offered assistance in moving luggage and other tasks, kept the vehicle in clean working condition, skillfully navigated rough unpaved & unmarked roads, worked long hours to satisfy our desire to maximize our time in the field…all while maintaining a pleasant demeanor. He drove over to help another vehicle that was stuck in mud, but only after first asking us whether it was all right. We felt like we were in competent hands. David is friendly and talkative but not overbearing. He is obviously very experienced, yet he often made it seem like he was just as thrilled as we were to spot a bird, cheetah, black mamba, dung beetle or birthing wildebeest.
“I had a fabulous time! My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He accommodated my requests but also used his experience to gently nudge me when he knew better viewing opportunities would occur. I really appreciated that so that I got the best overall experience. I was pleased with the accommodations as well. I was also able to learn a bit about how other companies operate with freelance guides so that made me appreciate Access 2 Tanzania’s business practices even more. I feel good that my money went to an ethical company that also gives back to the communities.”
