Wilfred is the best!! He was our guide and he was wonderful. We were fully aware of how educated and knowledgeable he was but when we were around other guides (when dining, etc) we noticed how much more informative and helpful he was over other guides (not-A2T). He also made sure we were protected and kept us aware of areas not safe.
Just before we said goodbye to Wilfred and he put us on a plane to Zanzabar Island I found a problem with the tanzanite earrings I had purchased 2 days prior. That shop was 2 days down the road – we didn’t have time to handle the situation. I left the earrings with Wilfred, he drove to the shop, exchanged the earrings, confirmed they were perfect, drove them to A2T, shipped them to Zanzabar and they were waiting for me at the airport in Zanzabar when we were leaving. That took a lot of work, heck A2T already had our money and Wilfred already completed his job, they didn’t have to do all of that. Are they awesome or what?
We felt so lucky to have had him with us. 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. But we still feel luckier to have Wilfred throughout our safari! What we really loved about Wilfred was that he was so fun to be with. We would love to see him again and would gladly open our home to him when he visits San Diego.
“My overall impression of Access 2 Tanzania is that they are extremely knowledgable about Tanzania and provided a great deal of insight into planning our trip. I relied on them exclusively to plan and felt comfortable knowing that they knew what we were looking for and would be able to meet our needs and desires for our trip.”
