Perfect Honeymoon Experience
Excellent. In terms of skill as a guide (knowledge of wildlife, the parks, how to find what we wanted to see, etc.), Wilfred was great. Just as importantly, though, Wilfred was excellent on a personal level. He was friendly, funny and personable and we enjoyed spending our days with him. At the same time, he was excellent at reading the situation and knowing what kind of clients we were. As an example, since it was our honeymoon and a time for us to relax, sometimes we wanted to just sit and stare out the window without chatting much as we drove or call it a day a little early so we could relax by the pool or on the porch of our tent / lodge. He clearly understood that without us even having to say anything. Of course, we knew we knew we could dictate our schedule but it was so much easier when your guide anticipates what you’ll want to do even before you say anything. Overall, he was great.
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
