The experience of a lifetime!
From the beginning, we felt very comfortable with Alex. He has a very calm and welcoming personality. He is very knowledgeable and entertaining. We liked starting our safari days early, with the beautiful morning light. This led to long days in the vehicle, but we never tired of Alex. He kept a pace that was perfect for us, and we had the general feeling that we were just experiencing nature and what was going on with the wildlife (although I’m sure Alex did his best to position us in areas where he expected some activity!) We saw truly amazing animals, activities, vistas – more than we ever expected. We enjoyed our conversations with Alex about life in Tanzania, culture, religion, education, etc. His knowledge of the animals we encountered, even birds, is outstanding. Since you see some of the same types of animals multiple times, we had some interesting conversations on their behavior and motivations. He catered to my desire to log all of the species we encountered, which included 35 animal species, 78 bird species (unbelievable that he knew all of these, or was able to quickly identify with his book), and 3 reptiles! Alex clearly has many friends among the other guides and staff in the lodges/camps. He is funny and fun to be around. We feel very lucky to know him and have had him as our guide.
“A2T provides excellent communication with their clients from the initial planning stages through the end of their safari. Casey, our consultant, was very helpful in planning a visit with my child as well as exhibiting creativity in arranging special activities for our party. He also helped troubleshoot any concerns and presented solutions. A2T is very well organized and obviously treats their employees well and fairly. They give employees opportunities for advancement, e.g.assisting employees to advance from transport and cultural guides to safari guides. When I book my safari with A2T, I always know that I will have an outstanding experience.”
