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.
“From my very first phone call with Karen, I felt supported and guided. My ideas were listened to and helpful feedback/suggestions/modifications were given. It was a source of comfort to be able to put my trust in Access2Tanzania. From the beginning of the planning stages all the way to the last communications before leaving the USA, to Tanzanian component, to the post trip emails – I knew I was in good hands- that Access2Tanzania truly cared about us and our overall experience. The scheduled phone conferences were so very helpful. The information and links on the Access2Tanzania website were extremely helpful. A2T!!”
