Truly a Dream to Reality Trip and Can’t Wait to Go Back!
We could not have asked for a better guide. Alex was truly wonderful in every way and he really made our trip just incredibly unforgettable. He is very knowledgeable with culture, politics, and wildlife in its environment, and has super bionic eyes. Whenever we saw a bird or animal, he knew what it was and was able to explain a little something about what they were doing or going to do. He spotted a male and female ostrich and stopped to explain what we were about to witness — and surely enough, it was a beautiful mating dance. We witnessed gazelles posturing and going into a fight, brother lions after a take over of a pride, baby topi being born, cheetah putting on a show after his meal… list goes on and on. With Alex, we always felt safe and taken care of. His driving was safe and courteous — whenever we had a car approaching our direction, he would roll his window up to prevent dust from coming in. He knew just where the bumps were like he memorized the routes. We shared many laughs and insightful conversations. He was accommodating to our needs and adapted to our interests. At the end of our trip, we were sad to say our farewells to our new friend and we hope to stay in touch via facebook.
“A2T brings a level of professionalism to every aspect of the safari trip preparation process. We asked for a number of specifics (bean bags for the cameras, an extra battery to power a CPAP) and all was in order in the safari vehicle when we got there. David was asking why we went with A2T and I mentioned using some of these questions to sort through almost 2 dozen tour operators that I contacted on the way to choosing A2T. Having so much information available from A2T at every step of the process, including how to fill out the visa forms (and a link to the form), how much cash to bring for various things, how to pack, etc. makes what is otherwise a complicated and somewhat atypical trip to prepare for very straightforward. Karen spoke with us about why one would wish to choose one versus a different lodge and we found that each one brought a unique, wonderful experience on our trip.”
