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.
“EXCELLENT!!! My African adventure, meticulously planned by Access 2 Tanzania (and my friend Ron), was truly phenomenal and exceeded all expectations. The communication was exceptional, the agent, Casey, was always prompt, responsive, and available to answer questions, making the planning process stress-free. Your in-depth knowledge of African safaris and wildlife, coupled with recommendations, truly made the trip unforgettable. The tailored itinerary perfectly blended the desire for adventure with comfortable and adventurous accommodations. The guides were exceptional, it’s thanks to the guide’s keen eyes that we got to see the Big Five! They were very professional, making you feel like you were traveling with a friend ultimately making experience more exciting and memorable!”
