“I am very happy with Access 2 Tanzania. When initially planning our safari and talking with various travel agents/safari companies, it became very clear to us that Access 2 Tanzania was the right company for us to work with. Casey was very informative and spent a lot of time with us in answering questions and planning our itinerary. While in Tanzania, everything fell in line perfectly without issue. From the moment Wilfred met us at the airport until our departure time, we felt well cared for. I feel like Access 2 Tanzania is a well run company that is focused on giving their clients an exceptional experience.”
