David was a masterful guide – he seemed to instinctively know where to go, when, in order to have the greatest opportunity to see the many animals. We relished the opportunity to have subsequent viewings that allowed us to stop and spend time with the animals as they lived their lives. David taught us so much about their family lives and how everything fits together in nature’s eco-system. He was also able to ‘read’ us – and when we needed a break or shorter drives, or a later start, etc. He grew to be not just a guide, but a friend!
“The entire trip was superbly planned, down to the tiniest details. In the planning stages, Casey was very receptive to what we were looking to do and was very straightforward about the pros and cons of each aspect of the trip. Once it was booked, he was very helpful with helping us plan and figure out what to expect when we got there. All of his recommendations and bits of advice were spot on. In particular, they went above and beyond when we had a problem during the trip. My wife had a reaction to one of the medications she was taking and we needed to seek out a doctor. Casey, our guide Maningo, and the rest of the A2T crew were on top of it, calling us in the middle of Ngorongoro Crater to make sure we got what we needed. Casey and Maningo got a local American doctor on the phone to consult, and we managed to fix the problem pretty quickly. Everybody was wonderful in a moment where we were feeling a bit nervous about what to do.”
