Great experience with a fantastic guide
Alex was professional and was never hesitant to stop the car and talk about animals, although we’ve seen them a few times already. He never seem stressed and he was always (it seemed) looking for a better place for the car so that we could get a better view. Impressive effort since it was quite a lot of driving.
One afternoon, we were actually heading back to camp, he said that he just wanted to check something out. We drove off and suddenly heads up in the bush where an antelope was staring at something. Turns out the antelope is looking at a cheetah with her cub that wasn’t visible from where we headed up in the bush. No other humans present. Maybe this is basic guide skills but to us it was a fantastic experience. And I guess that the one hour detour in the afternoon says something about Alex’ will to make your trip really special.
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
