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.
“It would be impossible to describe our complete satisfaction in a short survey. I can’t promise A2T is the best because I have not done another safari, but I can promise there are none better. It was far beyond our expectations – the weather, the animals, the lodging and most especially, our guide. Alex was professional, friendly, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. He has the eyes of an eagle – he spotted game with his eyes that we could not see with 8X binoculars! He is truly amazing and he guided us through a once in a life time experience we will never forget. We have friends who have been on safaris and never seen a leopard or a cheetah. Thanks to Alex, we saw six leopards and thirteen cheetahs! We will recommend A2T to all our friends and should we return to Africa, we would not even think of another company. A2T is the best!”
