When we landed in Tanzania our guide Danny was waiting for us outside baggage claim at the airport. He would be our guide for 9 days, from our airport arrival to our airport departure, all day, every day, and he was GREAT! We saw all the ‘big’ animals we wanted to see and many more.
We got to see ALL the ‘big’ animals with Danny, many of them quite close. He worked well with the other Access guides so if they saw something they could call Danny in, and vise versa. Such good memories of the animals we saw. From the initial elephants and giraffes we saw on our walking tour, to the baby elephant trumpeting, to the cheetahs and leopards, to the 30-lion strong pride we saw on our final driving day. And it wasn’t just the big animals Danny knew about. He could tell you what bird you were looking at, tell you about the trees and flowers, etc. We didn’t talk much about bugs, but I’m sure he knows all about those too. 🙂
On our last day we were going to look for more big cats and weren’t having a ton of luck. One of our daughters said she really wanted to see a couple more elephants and giraffes before we left so Danny pivoted. We started making our way toward more elephant/giraffe territory, and in the meantime we came across 30+ lions sunning themselves on rocks and in the grass. They had cubs too that our girls though were so cute. So awesome, plus it wasn’t long before we saw elephants and giraffe too.
We can’t say enough good things about Danny. He helped make our trip truly something we’ll remember forever.
“We had an amazing trip to Tanzania as a family of 12. Thanks to Casey’s planning, attention to detail and hearing our requests our trip went off seamlessly from lodging/sleeping arrangements to personalized touches celebrating birthdays, etc. Access 2 Tanzania made our trip stress free and enjoyable every step of the way. Casey even went the extra mile to help us rebook a connecting flight as Kenya Airlines cancelled our connection from Nairobi on the way to TZ. We were stuck at the Nairobi airport, he was able to call and help get us rebooked on a different flight. Also our Access 2 Tanzania guides Noel and Joachim took care of everything we needed. They started out as guides and when we left they felt like family. Would 100% recommend Access 2 Tanzania especially with Casey as your consultant.”
