Exceeded our expectations.
We had 2 guides Noel and Joachim. They were phenomenal!! They were very tuned in to our groups wants and needs and everyday they met and exceeded our expectations. They were fun, interesting and super knowledgeable about the animals and culture of Tanzania. They went above and beyond to make our time with them amazing. Thanks to them and their guidance it was a trip of a lifetime and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. We traveled in a group of 12 with 6 kids aged 7-17. The guides were excellent with the adults and kids. In fact we had a few days with all the kids in one jeep and they would always come back smiling and tell us of all the new animal facts they learned. Everyday we went out these guides went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the animals we desired to see. They were excellent at spotting even the most camouflaged animals. We feel like we have made lifelong friends in Joachim and Noel and look forward to hopefully having the opportunity to have another adventure with them in the future.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
