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.
“Every detail was meticulously planned and perfectly suited to our needs. It was obvious that Karen paid careful attention to how we prefer to experience travel and matched us with a guide who perfectly suited our style. Barney was incredibly professional and let us set the tone and pace. He is an outstanding guide in so many ways; he quickly read us and we bonded immediately. Throughout the journey it was obvious that Barney is well respected by the other guides and they often follow his lead because he knows where to go and how to find the animals. He is also an incredible photographer–I got to a point where I just handed him my phone and he meticulously captured our trip. With no exaggeration, our 8 days with Barney were life changing and we think of him each and every day.
While we requested clean and comfortable accommodations with private baths, every place we stayed far exceeded our expectations. Nyikani and Mara Mara were the standout favorites. I have spoken with folks who were unsure and had reservations about the food that would be provided. We ate incredibly well–food was more than plentiful, very good to extremely delicious, and the soups were the best I have ever eaten. Service was consistently exceptional.
Honestly, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience and have been recommending Access 2 Tanzania and Barney to all we can.”
