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.
“I traveled as part of the donor trip. This was my second trip with Access. Myself and my daughter were well informed in the planning stages in regards to packing, medical info, and the itinerary. The logistics in country worked quite smoothly. It was extra special to meet Brian Singer. His vision and passion for the people of Tanzania has an amazing mix of idealism and practicality.
I appreciated to mix of accommodations; lodges, tented camps, and a village home. A2T did an excellent job and I would recommend them to anyone traveling to Tanzania and/or Rwanda.”
