Trip of a lifetime (seriously)!!!
Wilfred was the best He was extremely knowledgeable and worked really hard to make sure that we got to see a ton of really cool stuff. We got to see all the big 5 and got a number of pictures that are truly National Geographic worthy. He understands photography and is really good about getting the light perfect for really good shots. It was obvious that his knowledge of animals and the parks is far above the average guide as many guides would listen to him and ask for his advice. He went above and beyond to help us with some snafu’s (not his fault) that happened on the trip. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a guide in Tanzania. Just an all around great guy and great safari guide.
“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.”
