We are not the easiest people to spend ten days with in a car. Noel is a magician. He knew where to take us, when to take us there, how to keep us entertained, and when to give us time for a little quiet. He always made sure that we were on board with his agenda, and when we needed a quick change, he immediately agreed. I can’t say enough about what an incredibly special man he is—we laughed with him and enjoyed his company for a few nights at dinner. We learned about his family and his life in Tanzania. Although he told us with his words how much he loves his job and the people he meets, his actions spoke ten times louder. He is truly one of the best ambassadors for the country there could be.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
