We can’t say enough positive things about our guide Barney. He was knowledgeable, friendly, interested in our questions and opinions and managed to pique our interest in things that we didn’t know we wanted to know about. Despite some long days, he was always enthusiastic and prepared for the next adventure and was a particularly apt role model of hakuna matata. He was a skillful driver over some very bumpy roads, even as he scouted out wildlife hiding both near and far. We learned a lot about Tanzanian culture and recent history from him, as well as animal, plant and insect habitats and their symbiotic relationship. He did an excellent job creating special moments for us and gave us a glimpse into how people live and work during our brief stay in Arusha. He was a comfortable and fun person to be around and our friends and family have heard many Barney stories as we’ve shared tales from our trip. Asante sana, Barney.

“My partner and I were extremely impressed by the level of care, planning, and thoughtfulness which A2T and its representatives exhibited. In relative terms, our trip came together at a fairly late stage (2 months), and Casey, who was our consultant, made it all happen. Our guide Barney, who was with us for the entire time we were in Tanzania, was absolutely top notch. Overall, we were extremely pleased, and would recommend A2T (and Barney) to anyone travelling to Tanzania.”
