Alex was outstanding! He had a great personality and sense of humor which added tremendously to our enjoyment of the trip. Alex also had great knowledge about the animals and even more than that, he showed an obvious love for the animals from rock pythons to tommys. He also had a deep knowledge of their behavior and habitat. Alex was amazing at spotting animals – to the point we called him binocular eyes.
An excellent driver, Dad felt comfortable falling asleep in the vehicle. Alex knew the answers to all the questions my father asked, including very specific and technical questions.
Alex was also quite deft at balancing the desires of my Mom, Dad and me. He was open to new experiences, including chasing down the director of a research center in the Serengeti. Getting back in the vehicle, he was excited “to have learned something new.”
Overall we could not have been happier with Alex.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
