The Peter Guarantee
Peter was awesome! His wildlife spotting was off the charts. He kept telling us how lucky we were…only waiting 30 minutes for a Great Migration River Crossing, seeing two cheetahs within minutes of entering the Central Serengeti, watching a hyena try to steal a mother leopard’s gazelle kill and watching the mother leopard come out of nowhere and drag the gazelle up into the tree, then watch the hyena walk away, and many more! We told him it wasn’t our luck, but because we had the best guide. We called it “The Peter Guarantee”.
He got all along with all members of our family and my teenage boys thought he was great! He became one of the family when we all teased my 15 year old about being able to sleep anywhere/anytime! He also joined in in teasing my husband for taking over 6800 photos!! His vast knowledge of the wildlife was astounding and he shared lots of information about the people and culture of Tanzania. You can tell that Peter loves his job and loves introducing visitors to his beautiful country.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
