The Best Guide
Gerald is very knowledgeable about wildlife, not only mammals, but also birds and native plants. He was a good communicator, had a good command of English, kind and patient with us and our many questions. We enjoyed his easy-going, fun loving personality and noticed that he was well respected by other guides and lodge personnel. He demonstrated respect and knowledge of Tanzanian culture. He was always punctual giving us all the time that we needed and responsive to our interests.
“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).”
