If you want to see the most of animals- Alex is a must have guide!
I think a guide can make or break the safari experience, since so many things and smoothness of the trip depends on him. We were lucky to have Alex, who was able to deal with all of our requests and questions. He made us feel at ease and accommodated our needs throughout the journey. He has a vast knowledge about animals as well as culture and history of Tanzania. And the most amazing capability- he has eagle-eyes!!! I still can’t believe how far he can see without the binoculars!!! So many times he would stop a car and tell us that there is some animal in the distance. We couldn’t see it without the binoculars, and sometimes struggled to find it even with the binoculars, so he had to direct us where to look!!! We saw so many animals. He had a lot of patience! After Tanzania we traveled for two more weeks on our own, and often wished Alex were with us, because we would have seen so much more!
All in all, if I get another chance to go back to Tanzania, I would want Alex to be my guide again.
“Wow. It couldn’t have been better. We knew from the outset that we had picked the right tour company and it was made even more evident as we met other travelers and heard about their itineraries and accommodations. Every single detail was taken care of. All we had to do was live it. 🙂 We were fully informed on the logistics and details before we left and that made it so easy to know how to tip and what to pack, for example. It’s a big adventure, and somewhat daunting to plan for, but A2T took the guesswork out of it.”
