“Every detail was covered and questions and concerns were answered and addressed. This made for an amazing experience.
Casey was so helpful in the planning part, really made it easy for us. Once there, Fulgence took over and we were in excellent hands. We had such a fabulous, fun, informative and impactful trip. We could not have done it without the full A2T team. Wilfred was also great on last day in Arusha. You had us so well taken care of!!”
