Family Trip of a Lifetime

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 truly enjoyed our trip to Tanzania with Access to Tanzania. From the beginning, Karen did an excellent job of listening to our needs and explaining everything we had questions about. She even called us after her usual work hours so it was more convenient for us to plan our trip. She created an itinerary for us based on her knowledge of Tanzania and what we wanted to do. Everything on our trip went smoothly. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice in companies and would refer Access to Tanzania to anyone interested in visiting this wonderful place. There are many companies out there to choose from. We used the internet reviews to pick Access to Tanzania, and we are so very glad that we did. Their slogan is “No worries. We know Tanzania.” Their slogan is very true. They do know Tanzania, and they know what they are doing in terms of planning the best safari vacation that one could experience.”
