Wilfred is amazing. We spent about 12 days with him, and by the end the three of us were just as comfortable talking about family and life as we were sitting in companionable silence. We were a perfect match for each other in temperament. He went out of his way to make our trips easy. We told him we walked Moshi and felt a little uncomfortable in our first morning. He volunteered to walk us around town without us asking. He saw I liked coke, so he started picking up snacks and sodas for us, again without asking and certainly free of charge. We didn’t finish a few of our lunch boxes, he noticed and asked us what we liked and didn’t like. He talked to the various lodges and camps and told them, every box going forward was completely finished. We were in Central Serengeti, but I had an itch to see the Wildebeest migration. It was far away and no one knew exactly where. He easily could have said “sure, I’ll try” and told us it was impossible. Instead, he found a way to get us to the middle of the migration. His knowledge is obvious. He had answers for all of our questions, about the animals and local life. He was an excellent guide and great person. We miss eating dinners with him and sharing stories. Wilfred made the trip for us. Because of him, we’re thrilled to recommend A2T to any of our family friends or colleagues who may travel to Africa.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
