Incredible trip of a lifetime
Gerry was awesome and we felt like we were in great hands with him. He made sure we saw everything possible and every animal possible! Gerry could tell right away that I was a photo fanatic and he was thoughtful in making sure that we saw each animal at different angles and in different lighting so that I could get the best possible photos. I really appreciated that. We were in awe of all of the animals that we saw – Gerry was great at knowing where to go and how close to get without putting us in danger. Gerry was also great at planning our daily adventures – he thought of everything like packing our favorite drinks and wonderful hot meals for bush lunches. During our time we got a flat tire on the way to the Serengeti and we had car trouble leaving another town. Gerry handled both situations like a pro – he calmly took care of each situation and we were on our way. We felt safe with Gerry and we knew he was going the extra mile to ensure we had a great time. He was great at driving through some crazy terrain too. Our kids loved him too and we all loved the game drives with Gerry. You could see that Gerry enjoyed himself too! With the help of Juma, Gerry created a perfect day for us at Mosquito River. We donated food to families and supplies and books to a school and we had lunch at a local home. This day was our favorite because we were able to interact with the people who are incredibly welcoming and kind. Such a great experience!
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
