Fabulous Guide
Gerry was a star! His passion for the animals, his professionalism, his social awareness, his stories, his laugh and ‘the safari bible’ were all incredibly memorable. We loved sitting at picnic (whether Tarangire, Mto wa Mbu, Ngorongoro, Serengeti) or at the lodges and just talking. We learned so much about Tanzania, the people, and the culture from Gerry. The safari picnics were so enjoyable – great spread from the lodges, Gerry with the utensils and beverages! We saw all of the Big 5 (and Honorable Mention – Gerry knows who that is! 🙂 ) many times over. Gerry had an idea/plan/schedule for each of the days that we modified when it made sense and he was good with that flexibility. Gerry was visible and present throughout our stay in Tanzania, always just the right amount of being there without being overly there. And we really liked that he always took care of the locals – no food went to waste, small cash tips here and there for whomever helped us out, all of which felt very considerate and appropriate. In a country where the scenery, the animals, and the people are the stars of the show, Gerry gets the Best Director or Best Choreography award.
“EXCELLENT!!! My African adventure, meticulously planned by Access 2 Tanzania (and my friend Ron), was truly phenomenal and exceeded all expectations. The communication was exceptional, the agent, Casey, was always prompt, responsive, and available to answer questions, making the planning process stress-free. Your in-depth knowledge of African safaris and wildlife, coupled with recommendations, truly made the trip unforgettable. The tailored itinerary perfectly blended the desire for adventure with comfortable and adventurous accommodations. The guides were exceptional, it’s thanks to the guide’s keen eyes that we got to see the Big Five! They were very professional, making you feel like you were traveling with a friend ultimately making experience more exciting and memorable!”
