It was a delight to spend 12 days traveling with Joachim. He was consistently friendly, cheerful, prompt, and always trying his very best to make sure that we experienced and saw everything that it was possible to see–which he did with remarkable success. He was infinitely patient with us as we repeatedly pointed out the many birds that we saw and always stopped so that we could take pictures . He was also very good in helping us to identify them, including supplying us with a list of the birds that we had seen at the end of our trip to help us in identifying our many pictures of new, unfamiliar birds. He ensured that we saw every animal that we knew of in Tanzania, including rare leopard cubs, and also some species that we didn’t know about. He used his skills to enable us to see the wildebeast migration across the Mara River, despite our initial hesitation (fortunately all made it across safely, to our relief). Joachim truly was a friend as well as a wonderful guide and ambassador for our trip.
“Outstanding. We have recommended you to all of our traveler friends. We cannot recommend Access 2 Tanzania highly enough. They were referred to us by a friend and we were immediately attracted by the nonprofit component of the company that supports education for Tanzanian children in need. Casey helped us over several phone sessions and email exchanges to put together the perfect trip for our needs. Our guide, Joachim, was a wonderful companion and friend throughout our 12 day safari. He ensured that we saw everything that we could possibly have seen far beyond our best expectations, including lions, cheetahs, and leopards with cubs and with kills, tons of elephants, giraffe, zebras, hippos, antelopes of various kinds, and every other imaginable animal. We were able to witness the migration of the wildebeasts across the Mara River from Kenya and on throughout the Serengeti in their long lines, stretching from one horizon to the other. He was also extremely helpful in aiding us in finding and identifying the many, many birds of Tarangire, Ngorongoro, and Serengeti, which was of particular interest to us. A2T provided us with an amazing experience and we would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to others.”
