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.
“Excellent planning and preparation. So many things could have gone wrong. Thanks to Access 2 Tanzania’s tireless work in paying attention to detail everything worked very smoothly. From the time we met Maningo at the airport in Kilimanjaro till we took off in a 14 seater airplane from the Serengeti plains there was not one snafu. We were greeted at every camp site by someone who knew who we were. We were given lodging instructions and checked in with out a problem. The food was very good and even though we ate salad greens no one got sick. Our driver/guide, Maningo always had bottles of water for us on game drives. Maningo washed the land cruiser every night so we never had a dirty vehicle.”
