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.
“Without Access2Tanzania we probably never would have gone to Africa. A2T made it possible. Everyone we encountered A2T was friendly and helpful, both here in the US and in Tanzania. We were very pleased with the itinerary that was set for our trip. It was perfect. The range of parks and reserves was varied and interesting. The accommodations were comfortable and gave us great insight into choosing places to stay for our next trip (hopefully). Inserting the experience of going to Nyamuswa was a wonderful counterpoint to our time in the parks with the animals and birds. It really made the trip special. Our guide Mussa was friendly, knowledgeable and resourceful. We never got tired of spending nearly 12 hours a day with him. He may have gotten tired of us.”
