Tanzania: for the picky yet adventurous traveler
Danny would get an exemplary rating from us! If you want the true Tanzania experience he’s your man! He’s fun, adventurous and can spot animals from miles away! We saw so many animals thanks to him! Even the other safari drivers would stop him to find out where animals were! He was caring and even made sure the lodge at the Serengeti made me home made ginger tea for 2 nights when I had a cold. He also took us to meet some Maasai tribe members who we had a goat barbecue with! He also made sure I got to visit a health clinic and hospital in a remote village where hopefully I can bring our nursing students to study! We also had some fresh hard boiled eggs sold to us on the side of the road by the Maasai! We learned so much about animal behavior, and culturally about the people. Honestly, we would adopt Danny! He was so awesome! He’s your Tanzanian Cowboy! We ate an adventurous couple and are open minded, so Danny was our perfect guide! Lastly, he always took into our account comfort and safety! This was truly an experience of a lifetime! We also don’t want to forget Noel who picked us up day 1, while Danny was driving to north Serengeti. He was friendly, and made sure our first days were smooth.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
