You really feel alive when you’re living amongst the lions!
Willy was an amazing guide. I immediately took to him as soon as I met him. He has very warm and with a friendly nature. He has in-depth knowledge of the various regions on the Safari and has a keen eye to spot all the wildlife. He went out of his way to ensure we got to see all that we wanted to and explained like a wildlife expert the nature and personalities of the different animals. He has so much knowledge about the history of that region and especially the Ngorongoro Crater. Over the course of the Safari, we got to know each other better. We had breakfast, lunch, and dinner together, during which time he explained that he was from the Maasai tribe and he educated me on their various culture and traditions. I learnt a lot about Tanzania and its people just from the time I spent chatting with Willy.
“Access 2 Tanzania was awesome! Visiting Africa and going on Safari was on my bucket list and A2T fulfilled it completely. My husband likes spontaneity but I insist on long term planning so when my husband told me he wanted to go to Tanzania in just over 3 weeks I laughed. Two days later he came to me with a plan that Casey and he put together. I was dumb-founded. It was not a canned tour planned by A2T for a group. It was a private itinerary planned by my husband and Casey to accommodate exactly what WE wanted to do and where WE wanted to go. We left for Tanzania 3 weeks later! Amazing!
We changed plans many times after the initial plan and Casey was very patient and accommodated us with no resistance. Casey always had answers to our questions and gave us recommendations that we would never had thought of. A2T didn’t just give ‘lip service’ they provided what they said they would and told us what they could not. I questioned this because they offer so many wonderful options and I wondered what we would actually get when we arrived. Another thing I was pleased with is that during our planning Casey did not constantly try to ‘up sell’ us.
‘Wilfred’ was our guide and he was wonderful. He is such a nice, good and fun person. We felt so lucky to have him. That said, we spoke to others from A2T and they also felt the same about their guides so it is clear A2T chooses their guides carefully. (We still feel lucky to have Wilfred throughout our safari!)
I wish I could remember the names of all the others that we met and who helped us from A2T. We didn’t run into one bad seed. It’s been 5 months since we returned from Africa and although the names are not clear in my mind the warm, wonderful and exciting feeling of Africa will never fade.
If you have the opportunity to go to Africa go with Access 2 Tanzania! AMAZING!!”
