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.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
