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.
“A2T brings a level of professionalism to every aspect of the safari trip preparation process. We asked for a number of specifics (bean bags for the cameras, an extra battery to power a CPAP) and all was in order in the safari vehicle when we got there. David was asking why we went with A2T and I mentioned using some of these questions to sort through almost 2 dozen tour operators that I contacted on the way to choosing A2T. Having so much information available from A2T at every step of the process, including how to fill out the visa forms (and a link to the form), how much cash to bring for various things, how to pack, etc. makes what is otherwise a complicated and somewhat atypical trip to prepare for very straightforward. Karen spoke with us about why one would wish to choose one versus a different lodge and we found that each one brought a unique, wonderful experience on our trip.”
