Raymond was very knowledgeable about wildlife, since he has a two year degree in this area. He was friendly and willing to share. He works hard and long hours. He could sense when to give people quiet time. He is a safe a courteous driver. Having a safe driver was important to us after having spent a prior week experiencing how driving can be in Tanzania. He knew the parks well and could spot wildlife that others might not see. He got us in position to see a stalk by a cheetah and then got us in a new position to see the kill by this same cheetah, which took skill to know where the cheetah would be going and to get there without spooking the kill. Every morning he brought us a cleaned up vehicle, which had to be difficult considering the dusty environment. He dressed professionally, and spoke highly of his employer as a good company that takes care of its employees, its customers and gives back to the poor in Tanzania.
“Outstanding. We have recommended you to all of our traveler friends. We cannot recommend Access 2 Tanzania highly enough. They were referred to us by a friend and we were immediately attracted by the nonprofit component of the company that supports education for Tanzanian children in need. Casey helped us over several phone sessions and email exchanges to put together the perfect trip for our needs. Our guide, Joachim, was a wonderful companion and friend throughout our 12 day safari. He ensured that we saw everything that we could possibly have seen far beyond our best expectations, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards with cubs and with kills, tons of elephants, giraffe, zebras, hippos, antelopes of various kinds, and every other imaginable animal. We were able to witness the migration of the wildebeasts across the Mara River from Kenya and on throughout the Serengeti in their long lines, stretching from one horizon to the other. He was also extremely helpful in aiding us in finding and identifying the many, many birds of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, which was of particular interest to us. A2T provided us with an amazing experience and we would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to others.”
