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.
“Overall, we had a very good impression of A2T as a company. A2T had been undoubtedly very customer-oriented, which was evident from the very beginning of the tour, that is, booking. The extra mile A2T spent on calls to understand our requirements and then come up with the final itinerary was ver assuring. Later we almost had to backtrack from the trip due to Ebola concerns, and the extra time allowed for us to make the final decision was very helpful.
Later on during the trip, we had a special situation which required overnight usage of electricity. Our guide, Mussa, and Stella from the Arusha office really reached out to resolve that issue by sending a charger from Arusha to Karatu. The solution was impressive (also unexpected), and it became just another good example of A2T’s emphasis on customer services.
Our guide, Mussa, was great. We all liked him very much. I will talk more about him later (assuming there is another column to discuss).”
