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 is a first-rate safari company who really listens to get a handle on what you want from a safari/trip to Tanzania and works hard to provide a final itinerary within your budget, even if it takes multiple drafts. We appreciate that they are relatively small, and focus just on Tanzania, so they know their product really well. An added plus for us is how ethically they manage their business — they employ their guides all year round and will not use guides from the outside — if a time period fills up and all guides are assigned, then it is full. It was important to us that A2T uses some of its resources to help the Tanzanian people through Project Zawadi. It is even more impressive to understand just how much of a priority this project is to the owners now that we have visited. We can’t imagine travelling with any other company.”
