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.
“First of all, I love that it is associated with Project Zawadi. It felt good enjoying the tour and knowing we were contributing to educational projects in Tanzania. Everything was done professionally and very much catered to our needs. Our guides were fabulous! We asked them hundreds of questions and they could answer about most everything – animal habits, climate, geography. My companion was older and a good friend, but I found she often relied on my to carry her things, help her with her camera or help her in and out of the jeep. It wasn’t long before Wilfred noticed and stepped in. And he did it in a way that made her feel special. His taking on this extra responsibility allowed me to more freely enjoy myself and not miss some of the opportunities I might have if he had not been looking out for her. Ray told us, “You came us our guest but we left as friends.” I couldn’t agree more.”
