Elly was professional, patient, friendly, funny, and a great person. Our entire family had a great time getting to know Elly and we had an amazing time with him the entire trip. His personality fit in with each individual from us parents to each of our three teenagers.

I don’t want to leave out our other A2T guides we spent time with. We spent a day with Haji walking through several Chaga villages and having lunch with Mama Grace. While our time with Haji was brief, he was great to get to know and spend time with as well. In just a few hours we built a strong connection with him and learned a lot about TZ and the people that live there.

We also spent one day of safari with Nasibu and had a very successful first game drive exploring Arusha National Park.

While the Safari experiences we had were great by themselves, I think the A2T guides made the difference and we feel like we made new friends and memories with them that we will cherish even more.

“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
