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.
“Access 2 Tanzania is a small well run organization. The safari consultants are knowledgeable and are willing to make suggestions to plan the best safari based on individual preferences . Casey took the time to understand what I liked and disliked as well as our budget constraints. His suggestion to travel the last week of May was great. The guides were fantastic. Our guide was very knowledgeable and professional.. We definitely enjoyed his sense of humor. The excursions ( hike and bike ) were wonderful and a nice change of pace. Everything was beyond expectations. The vehicle and refreshments were top notch.”
