Joachim is special. He knows wildlife. He knows the parks. He found ways to avoid crowds. He taught us some Swahili. He navigated the awful roads (we learned about poli poli). My partner is especially interested in birds. He found and taught us about the many species in Tanzania. He handled the few glitches that occurred with calm professionalism. But mostly he is a thoroughly decent man. It was a pleasure to spend two weeks with him.
“I had a fabulous time! My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He accommodated my requests but also used his experience to gently nudge me when he knew better viewing opportunities would occur. I really appreciated that so that I got the best overall experience. I was pleased with the accommodations as well. I was also able to learn a bit about how other companies operate with freelance guides so that made me appreciate Access 2 Tanzania’s business practices even more. I feel good that my money went to an ethical company that also gives back to the communities.”
