Wilfred was excellent. He drove well, he planned out our days, made suggestions and told us what he recommends, drove around to certain areas which ended up being perfect for sightings, and he was very respectful of other guides and visitors. I want to highlight this with an example from Tarangire where a mom cheetah and 2 cubs had just gotten food and there were several vehicles swarming the site. Wilfred realized how this would be problematic and started directing other drivers to angle their cars head on to the scene so that everyone could get a good view and a better chance to see it. He displayed this behavior the whole trip with the respectful driving and helping keep things organized which was much appreciated. He ensured our lunches were packed and helped serve breakfast and lunch and was very informative about the country and animals and our questions.
“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!”
