One Human Family – Come Visit Wilfred!
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.
“Without Access2Tanzania we probably never would have gone to Africa. A2T made it possible. Everyone we encountered A2T was friendly and helpful, both here in the US and in Tanzania. We were very pleased with the itinerary that was set for our trip. It was perfect. The range of parks and reserves was varied and interesting. The accommodations were comfortable and gave us great insight into choosing places to stay for our next trip (hopefully). Inserting the experience of going to Nyamuswa was a wonderful counterpoint to our time in the parks with the animals and birds. It really made the trip special. Our guide Mussa was friendly, knowledgeable and resourceful. We never got tired of spending nearly 12 hours a day with him. He may have gotten tired of us.”
