The most amazing experience in a land of awe-inspiring landscapes, sunrises, sunsets and people.
Nasibu made our trip the wonderful experience that it was! He is great! He is very experienced and knowledgeable regarding the animals and the layout of the parks. He knew right where to go to find the particular things that we were interested in seeing, and he made sure that we saw them. I said I loved elephants, and we saw them every day. Troy was interested in cheetahs and leopards, and Nasibu found multiple of each. I wasn’t sure that we would see a wildebeest crossing, and Nasibu showed us three. For one of those, after waiting for some time, many of the other vehicles drove away. Nasibu said, “be patient”, and sure enough, about 20 minutes later they crossed. Nasibu could answer every question that we had and he did so with patience! He was a pleasure to spend time with and had our every comfort in mind. He went out of his way to make us feel special. He arranged to bring a bottle of wine and glasses on a late afternoon drive in Tarangire, so we had a surprise drink during which we watched the sunset. He arranged with Kiota Camp to put our breakfast (everything that was on the buffet) in an insulated hamper one morning in Central Serengeti, and we had breakfast in the open plains on the hood of the Land Cruiser. That is definitely a highlight of the trip! When we mentioned that we would like to stop at the Olduvai Gorge museum on the way to the Serengeti, he made it happen even though it was not on the itinerary (we reimbursed him for the entry fee). I cannot say enough good things about Nasibu.
“A2T is a first-rate safari company who really listens to get a handle on what you want from a safari/trip to Tanzania and works hard to provide a final itinerary within your budget, even if it takes multiple drafts. We appreciate that they are relatively small, and focus just on Tanzania, so they know their product really well. An added plus for us is how ethically they manage their business — they employ their guides all year round and will not use guides from the outside — if a time period fills up and all guides are assigned, then it is full. It was important to us that A2T uses some of its resources to help the Tanzanian people through Project Zawadi. It is even more impressive to understand just how much of a priority this project is to the owners now that we have visited. We can’t imagine travelling with any other company.”
