Ray is an excellent guide, wanting to give us the Safari we want. Attentive to our interests from animals to birds to photography. Observant when we wanted to linger for more photos. He also had the right mix of birds for us. We wanted to see birds as a secondary objective and Ray sensed that we were not ornithologists and didn’t need every bird identified but just some of the larger or more colorful ones.
On my birthday Ray talked with the cook at camp and arranged for birthday cake to be the dessert of the evening. The staff as they usually do began dancing and singing throughout the dining area carrying a cake. They came to our table and sang “happy birthday.” That’s going out of his way for guests. A most memorable birthday for sure.
“Outstanding. We have recommended you to all of our traveler friends. We cannot recommend Access 2 Tanzania highly enough. They were referred to us by a friend and we were immediately attracted by the nonprofit component of the company that supports education for Tanzanian children in need. Casey helped us over several phone sessions and email exchanges to put together the perfect trip for our needs. Our guide, Joachim, was a wonderful companion and friend throughout our 12 day safari. He ensured that we saw everything that we could possibly have seen far beyond our best expectations, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards with cubs and with kills, tons of elephants, giraffe, zebras, hippos, antelopes of various kinds, and every other imaginable animal. We were able to witness the migration of the wildebeasts across the Mara River from Kenya and on throughout the Serengeti in their long lines, stretching from one horizon to the other. He was also extremely helpful in aiding us in finding and identifying the many, many birds of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, which was of particular interest to us. A2T provided us with an amazing experience and we would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to others.”
