“Karen was always ready to listen and address our questions. She has a warm friendly way of connecting with us. I am a bit sad that I didn’t get to meet her in person.
Maningo was most pleasant. I never felt I couldn’t ask a question. He was keen at spotting game and giving details about most any wildlife situation. He provided a reference guide that was fascinating. He drove carefully and respectfully not only of his passengers but also of the environment. He found a school for us to visit in spite of the examinations that made a visit to the public school unavailable.
Nasibu was great. He was patient, attentive to our pace of hiking, and informative. Felt very comfortable with him.
Raymond was with us a short time on the return and again, I commend your organization for having outstanding staff members
The itinerary was perfect. We had hikes at just the right time. Visits to 2 different homes were interspersed to give variety and insight anticipation for the next move.”
“Outstanding. Taking a safari with a group of 6 people, ages 13- 76, four of whom have never been to Africa, requires a lot of logistics and planning. Casey was super thorough (and patient) in answering all of our questions. Itinerary planning was surprisingly easy because he listened to what we wanted, and his first draft was super close to our final draft. We loved hearing that folks who work for Access (Wilfred, Juma) really respect what the company is doing with the community through Project Zawadi and how they are treated as employees. All of the materials sent in advance (packing materials, itineraries, visa instructions, phone calls, videos) made us feel super prepared. Casey went above and beyond to cover a transfer in Zanzibar and recommend places to stay. Logistics on the ground were literally seamless. Wilfred is incredibly professional, organized, knowledgeable, kind, and fun. He was mindful of everyone’s needs and consistently checked in to make sure we were good. He went above and beyond in helping my aunt, who needs some mobility support.”
