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.
“We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Access 2 Tanzania. We found them responsive, detail oriented, and extremely patient. Despite numerous changes to our itinerary, including a month delay, they handled all of it with no problems. Whenever we needed to talk to them they were available for a phone conference and both my husband and I felt totally confident with their planning and arrangements.”
