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.
“Incredible. If you’re planning a safari, look no further—Access 2 Tanzania delivers a truly exceptional experience from start to finish. The company is both highly professional and refreshingly personal. We loved that we had a single point of contact throughout the process—Karen, the owner—which made planning seamless and stress-free. Communication was excellent; they were always available for questions but also consistently one step ahead, guiding us through everything from visas to immunizations. Their client-first approach was clear in every interaction. The accommodations they selected for us were outstanding, and early in the process we appreciated being able to explore different options and costs to find what worked best for us. We felt supported, informed, and excited every step of the way.”
