Greatest trip we’ve ever been on BY FAR!!
David was fantastic! He was clearly very knowledgeable about the area, the animals and where to go to get the best viewing of what we wanted to see. He kept us laughing and made sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. If/when we go back or if we know of anyone that is going to Tanzania I would surely request David as the guide. In trying to think of any feedback we could give, we could only come up with the thought that David could explain what we’re doing in more detail as we start the day off. Frankly that’s the only thing we could come up with.
“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.”
