A+++++++++ Joachim is simply wonderful at his job.
We spent 13 days with Joachim and we enjoyed every single day. He is a kind, funny, smart person who listened to us and shared the joy of discoveries with us. He is knowledgeable about the parks themselves as well as all of the wildlife in the area. We are still impressed by how well he knows these incredibly vast parks! He is a very safe driver. From the moment he picked us up, he took care of our every need. He made sure that the truck was clean and had every amenity. He remembered what wildlife we had seen and took us to see new things. He provided information about all things, and at a pace that we found very comfortable. We are people who are the ‘doers’ in our circles. After knowing Joachim just a few hours, we both relaxed and let him take the lead. He is so capable and reliable. It really made the trip wonderful for us. We didn’t worry about a thing – we just focused on discovering and having fun. We truly enjoyed our time with Joachim. We cannot imagine a better guide.
“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.”
