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.
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
