Great Gratitude for Elly and Access 2 Tanzania

Elly was fantastic. He’s simply a marvelous human. He helped us with our Swahili, helped us negotiate language and social situations in the town where we had spent our early childhood (Shirati, Rorya District, Mara). He noticed that I was interested in trees and plants, so he made it a point to show us plants and name the trees. He stopped for every bird we wanted to see. He was tireless in helping us find lions and leopards and elephants, etc. He entered our banter and became our friend. Also, he’s an incredible driver.

I should also mention Noel, who drove us around Arusha on our first day. He, too, was a marvelous guide and a great driver.

“Access 2 Tanzania was amazing from start to finish. The planning process was easy and Karen was super helpful and answered my many questions. Noel was an incredible guide and I’m so glad I was paired with him for the trip. All the other guides seemed really nice that we met along the way and my last day guide was wonderful.”
