The travel highlight of our lives
David was the best! I could go on and on about his attributes. He was not only extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife, including the birds, but made it possible for us to witness them very up close and personal. He made every day a delight and ensured that every need we had was met, and added more fun to the day with his congenial and fun personality. David was always there when we needed him, was on-time and on-schedule. He seemed to know exactly where our excitement lay and optimized everything to give us the best experience possible.
We were fortunate enough to experience three Mara river crossings in three days! It’s clear that David lives and breathes in Tanzanian wildlife and was able to impart within us how the whole eco system works.
We were ecstatic with our experience with David and felt that by the end of our 10-day safari, we could call him a true friend.
“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!!”
