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.
“We were really pleased with A2T’s communication. They returned our phone call on a weekend and we had an itinerary a few days later. Casey was able to accommodate our four children (ages 10 and under) and that’s quite a feat! We read testimonials on TripAdvisor and pored over the A2T website as we became more excited about our trip. Casey spent a lot of time on the phone with us as we made travel decisions and sought advice on everything from what to pack to the timing of our international flights!”
