Both Ray and Elly very professional at all times and exuded passion for their work. They were highly knowledgeable about the “Big Five” and other animals, including their behavior, habitats, and how to track them. They were exceptional, it’s thanks to the guide’s keen eyes and spotting ability we got to see the Big Five! They were very professional, making you feel like you were traveling with a friend ultimately making experience more exciting and memorable! They shared information about Tanzania’s history, culture, and the different national parks. They communicated clearly, answered questions readily, and build rapport with everyone; they became part of our group! Since we had 2 camera men, they were always patient allowing ample time for observation and photography, and catered to specific interests and preferences. They really made the experience more unforgettable! They even laughed everytime I asked to “pet the lions belly”.

“Our trip preparation was totally seamless process. Access 2 Tanzania took care of everything. I couldn’t even imagine that everything would run so perfectly smoothly and 100 percent on time at every step of the way. Our guide Maningo was totally amazing and such a delight to spend the week with. His expertise and work ethic was just extraordinary! We had the pleasure of meeting many of the behind the scenes personnel at the A2T office in Arusha as well. The staff there were equally amazing and such gracious and welcoming hosts for a delicious lunch they served us on the day of our departure back to the States.”
