“Casey assisted me with all my planning for the Safari. He arranged everything with meticulous detail. I started the Safari the very next day after my Kilimanjaro trek. Casey arranged and advised me on all the logistics from introducing me to my Safari guide, providing his contact details through to the kind of accommodation I wanted on the Safari.
Casey is extremely personable and very easy to talk to. He listens to you and understands your individual circumstances and he advised me with suggestions I may not have thought of or don’t know when traveling to a new country. For example, the time I spent with the different tribes in Tanzania and which tribal communities I would enjoy visiting and learning about. I would highly recommend him.
Casey also revised my itinerary numerous times to accommodate my dates and what I wanted to see.
The best part of my experience with A2T was that they especially arranged for me to experience the Great Migration of the Wildebeests.”
