Elly had excellent English fluency – spoke in a way that we could easily understand even with his accent. He was so good with names of animals and birds. Our impression was that he knows a lot and he was willing to share this but not in an arrogant manner. He was humble and servant-like even if at times we were impatient. He always sought to park the jeep in a way that gives us the best view. – we were four senior citizens in his jeep. We had many complaints about the bumpiness of the ride, the dust, the long distances, but Elly was so patient! 🙂 And he was good in warning us of the looooong rides.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
