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.
“We are so happy we ultimately chose Access 2 Tanzania as our tour operator. I loved that the guides were all staff members and knew each other. The initiatives to give back to the local community was a big plus for us in choosing A2T. I also liked that it’s a smaller company so I felt the experience we got was completely customized to what we wanted. Everything from the initial sales call to the trip was just so easy and seamless. I will highly recommend A2T to anyone looking to do a trip and hopefully one day will be able to come back ourselves. Africa is a truly special place that we will never forget.”
