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!
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
