An unforgettable adventure
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.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
