During the trip, our guide David was wonderful. He was very outgoing and friendly, yet still very professional. He adapted seamlessly to our family’s personality and though the days were long, they were certainly never without humor, excitement, or wonder. David was also very skilled at troubleshooting in the moment, which proved to be crucial to our trip’s success. We had 2 flat tires, a few late days, and a few other possible issues arise; David took them all in stride and expertly created solutions, with a smile on his face or a joking comment ready to diffuse any hint of tension or anxiety that we may have felt. Aside from these minor mishaps that were well-dealt with, our trip was unreal, and with David’s expert guidance/recommendations and driving skills, we managed to easily see all of the Big 5 (on a 5-6 day trip); truly amazing!
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
