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.
“We absolutely loved our experiences with Access 2 Tanzania. We booked our trip to Tanzania only a month before departure and were very happy to find out that November was the low season and that the lodging was still available. Karen was very responsive in getting the dates and bookings to us for review and took the time to talk to us over the phone a couple of times to ensure that we understood the details of our trip. The other highlight of our trip was the guides at Access 2 Tanzania. All of the guides that we had were great. However, our primary guide, Raymond, was the best guide that we have ever had on a trip anywhere and we have traveled a lot around the world. We felt incredibly safe while we were with Raymond. He was also very knowledgeable about Tanzania and the wildlife. He knew exactly where to take us to see the most wildlife and had an incredible eye for spotting the wildlife. He was able to spot wildlife that we could not see with binoculars using his own eyes.”
