Barney is INCREDIBLE. He was so knowledgeable about the wildlife and has a fantastic eye to find the animals hiding in the Serengeti. At the very beginning he asked us what we wanted to see and was more than willing to sit tight while I took an absurd amount of pictures and video of the wildlife. Not only is he fantastic at his job, he is also an incredibly kind human being. I cannot recommend him enough. We also did the walking safari with Andrea, Barney, and a ranger. It was so different than doing game drives in the vehicle. You get to see the smaller things and have the fantastic experience of walking through nature. At the end we were surprised with cocktails on top of a huge rock that overlooked the Serengeti and was perfect timing to see the sunset. Definitely a must do when visiting Lemala Kuria Hills.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
