Tanzania Great Migration and Mara River Crossings
Danny is absolutely the best guide we have ever had and we were so pleased that he could be our guide this time too. He made every effort and went out of his way to help us see the animals and activities that we wanted. He was patient when we took too many pictures and was always willing to stop if we asked. He pointed out areas, provided history and was just so experienced that we just couldn’t go wrong! He always had the customer in mind. He took us to most of the Mara River Crossings to help us find where the Wildebeests were going to cross. We were able to see 3 Crossings which is an impressive number! We also saw 3 sets of lions and an elusive Leopard that we could watch as he moved through the grasses to a tree and then down again in the grasses. Massive herds of zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, gazelles, Ostrich, Cape buffalos and more. He also helped us schedule a Hot Air Ballon ride! Incredible view of the animals and Serengeti with a champagne breakfast in the bush that had incredible food!
“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!!”
