Outstanding Guide, Teacher, and Friend
Our guide Wilfred was absolutely THE BEST! He taught us so much about the animals and their behaviors and amazed us with his ability to spot wildlife from great distances and to anticipate their moves and to angle the vehicle so lighting and visibility were ideal for our photos. Wilfred also took superb photos and videos for us and was incredibly patient as we all watched animals mating, nursing, hunting, and feasting on their kills. We saw more wildlife than we ever imagined possible and feel indebted to him for this trip of a lifetime. Wilfred took such good care of us, anticipated our needs, and kept us safe and happy. His upbeat attitude, easy humor, and integrity made him wonderful to be around. We are hoping that someday he and his family will visit us in Long Beach and let us welcome them as warmly as he welcomed us.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. 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. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
