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.
“It would be impossible to describe our complete satisfaction in a short survey. I can’t promise A2T is the best because I have not done another safari, but I can promise there are none better. It was far beyond our expectations – the weather, the animals, the lodging and most especially, our guide. Alex was professional, friendly, accommodating and extremely knowledgeable. He has the eyes of an eagle – he spotted game with his eyes that we could not see with 8X binoculars! He is truly amazing and he guided us through a once in a life time experience we will never forget. We have friends who have been on safaris and never seen a leopard or a cheetah. Thanks to Alex, we saw six leopards and thirteen cheetahs! We will recommend A2T to all our friends and should we return to Africa, we would not even think of another company. A2T is the best!”
