He gave us the trip of a lifetime!
Nasibu was a wonderful guide! I always felt he was on top of the details so I didn’t have to be and could just relax and let the trip unfold. He had a uncanny knack (and keen eyesight) for both spotting wildlife and knowing where to go to see it. Thanks to him we saw the big five in one day in the central Serengeti. He answered our many questions with unfailing grace and professionalism and was very kind about me calling most large birds vultures (it became our joke!). He also seemed as excited to see the animals as we were. As an avid photographer I asked for frequent (and sudden) stops so I could take pictures and he never seemed impatient or put out. He also actively maneuvered the Jeep to give me the best shots. We really enjoyed getting to know each other over dinner at the camps and the opportunity to learn more about life in Tanzania from him. I’m sure all the guides are great but I can’t imagine anyone improving on the amazing trip we experienced thanks to Nasibu!
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
