Nasibu: Our Guide Who Gave Us the Safari of a Lifetime (and Felt Like Family)

Our guide, Nasibu, was so much more than we ever expected or even realized a guide could be—just incredible. He went above and beyond in thoughtful, personal ways to make our trip not only special, but also comfortable and perfectly suited to us.

Nasibu is kind, smart, and genuinely funny. His depth of knowledge about the wildlife, landscapes, people, and history of Tanzania truly enriched our experience. He knew the names and behaviors of every animal we encountered and shared interesting facts and stories that made each sighting more meaningful.

But what really blew us away was his ability to spot wildlife. It bordered on unbelievable. We’re still not sure how he managed to see lions camouflaged in tall grass and much more. His eye for movement, shape, and color was something we came to rely on—and marvel at. He didn’t just spot animals; he anticipated them based on various factors. He knew where to look, when to pause, and how to position the vehicle so we had the best viewing experience, often with no other safari vehicles in sight.

His experience in the parks really showed. Even in the vast, seemingly endless Serengeti, he always knew exactly where we were and how to navigate the terrain. We felt completely safe with him, whether on well-worn tracks or venturing through bush and brush in search of something special.

One of the biggest surprises of a safari is how much time you spend with your guide. With Nasibu, that time became a highlight in itself. We laughed, learned, and shared unforgettable moments—and by the end, it truly felt like we were traveling with family. It was hard to say goodbye.

“We have worked with various tour organizers in multiple countries over the years, and we all agree that A2T is the best we’ve experienced to date. They provided an excellent itinerary and helpful advice, ensuring we had great places to stay. The abundance of resources, including links to videos and other helpful information, made us feel well-prepared for our journey.

The guides from A2T were outstanding. We had three guides in total, with David being our primary guide. We also encountered several others at various lunch stops throughout the trip. One notable highlight was that we always had a cooler filled with cold water—something we struggled to find in other countries.

All the guides were friendly and exceptional. By the end of our trip, David felt like family to us, and we cherished our daily interactions with him. We truly could not find any negatives or areas for improvement with A2T on this trip.”
