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.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
