“VERY impressed. Access 2 Tanzania had the most competitive pricing from all of the other tour guides that I spoke with and it really meant more to me when booking that everyone was trained “in-house” and that A2T maintained their own equipment, verses other companies that outsourced most of the safari experience. The booking process, insurance, and communication was all seamless.”
