Great source of knowledge enable us to have a once in a lifetime experience.
Willy was with us for the first six days until he had to return home due to a death in the family. He was very personable and shared his knowledge very effectively. Our group seemed to connect with him immediately. He helped us understand culture of the people of Tanzania was a very good representative of the people. He displayed expert knowledge of the wildlife and vegetation we experienced and was effective at answering questions and providing in depth explanations to help us better understand the interactions between animals, the land and people. He displayed a understanding and familiarity of what was happening in each park to maximize our ability to see the wildlife we were interested. Alex picked up where Willy left off and provided a seamless transition and continued with equal quality with his own unique style and personality. We felt that interchangeability and quality of Willy and Alex is a tribute to the quality of service A2T is committed to provide it’s clients.
“Every detail was meticulously planned and perfectly suited to our needs. It was obvious that Karen paid careful attention to how we prefer to experience travel and matched us with a guide who perfectly suited our style. Barney was incredibly professional and let us set the tone and pace. He is an outstanding guide in so many ways; he quickly read us and we bonded immediately. Throughout the journey it was obvious that Barney is well respected by the other guides and they often follow his lead because he knows where to go and how to find the animals. He is also an incredible photographer–I got to a point where I just handed him my phone and he meticulously captured our trip. With no exaggeration, our 8 days with Barney were life changing and we think of him each and every day.
While we requested clean and comfortable accommodations with private baths, every place we stayed far exceeded our expectations. Nyikani and Mara Mara were the standout favorites. I have spoken with folks who were unsure and had reservations about the food that would be provided. We ate incredibly well–food was more than plentiful, very good to extremely delicious, and the soups were the best I have ever eaten. Service was consistently exceptional.
Honestly, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience and have been recommending Access 2 Tanzania and Barney to all we can.”
