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!
“Overall, we had a very good impression of A2T as a company. A2T had been undoubtedly very customer-oriented, which was evident from the very beginning of the tour, that is, booking. The extra mile A2T spent on calls to understand our requirements and then come up with the final itinerary was ver assuring. Later we almost had to backtrack from the trip due to Ebola concerns, and the extra time allowed for us to make the final decision was very helpful.
Later on during the trip, we had a special situation which required overnight usage of electricity. Our guide, Mussa, and Stella from the Arusha office really reached out to resolve that issue by sending a charger from Arusha to Karatu. The solution was impressive (also unexpected), and it became just another good example of A2T’s emphasis on customer services.
Our guide, Mussa, was great. We all liked him very much. I will talk more about him later (assuming there is another column to discuss).”
