Terrific experience
We thought Willy was a fantastic guide. He was very accommodating and always made sure we were happy with the daily plan, rather than just telling us what we would be doing that day. He was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we visited and all the animals we saw – any animals we mentioned we would like to see he found for us. He even suggested a slight change to our itinerary in order to do the Crater in the morning instead of the afternoon, as on our original itinerary, so we would have a better chance to see rhinos. We also appreciated that he was very respectful of the animals and the parks. He would always stop to pick up any trash we came across and never crowded or harassed animals, as we saw some other vehicles do.
“A2T is a first-rate safari company who really listens to get a handle on what you want from a safari/trip to Tanzania and works hard to provide a final itinerary within your budget, even if it takes multiple drafts. We appreciate that they are relatively small, and focus just on Tanzania, so they know their product really well. An added plus for us is how ethically they manage their business — they employ their guides all year round and will not use guides from the outside — if a time period fills up and all guides are assigned, then it is full. It was important to us that A2T uses some of its resources to help the Tanzanian people through Project Zawadi. It is even more impressive to understand just how much of a priority this project is to the owners now that we have visited. We can’t imagine travelling with any other company.”
