Life changing trip!!
Nasibu, Our guide was EXCELLENT!!, I can’t begin to describe. He was extremely attentive to our needs, absolutely punctual, could read what we wanted/needed, knew how to spot the animals in the most impossible places and knew about their expected behaviors, he was knowledgeable about the geography, knew the parks like the back of his hand, and was an amazing advocate for the company and his country. I would highly recommend Nasibu to any friend or family member if they were to choose A2T for the safari operator. We got to know each other well over the 12-13 days, and really enjoyed his company over drinks and meals after a long day of work. I hope he gets a good bonus from his work with us!! He was terrific, and I would venture to say that he would be our first Tanzanian friend.
“Every detail was meticulously planned and perfectly suited to our needs. It was obvious that Karen paid careful attention to how we prefer to experience travel and matched us with a guide who perfectly suited our style. Barney was incredibly professional and let us set the tone and pace. He is an outstanding guide in so many ways; he quickly read us and we bonded immediately. Throughout the journey it was obvious that Barney is well respected by the other guides and they often follow his lead because he knows where to go and how to find the animals. He is also an incredible photographer–I got to a point where I just handed him my phone and he meticulously captured our trip. With no exaggeration, our 8 days with Barney were life changing and we think of him each and every day.
While we requested clean and comfortable accommodations with private baths, every place we stayed far exceeded our expectations. Nyikani and Mara Mara were the standout favorites. I have spoken with folks who were unsure and had reservations about the food that would be provided. We ate incredibly well–food was more than plentiful, very good to extremely delicious, and the soups were the best I have ever eaten. Service was consistently exceptional.
Honestly, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience and have been recommending Access 2 Tanzania and Barney to all we can.”
