“Every detail was meticulously planned and perfectly suited to our needs. It was obvious that Karen paid careful attention to how we prefer to experience travel and matched us with a guide who perfectly suited our style. Barney was incredibly professional and let us set the tone and pace. He is an outstanding guide in so many ways; he quickly read us and we bonded immediately. Throughout the journey it was obvious that Barney is well respected by the other guides and they often follow his lead because he knows where to go and how to find the animals. He is also an incredible photographer–I got to a point where I just handed him my phone and he meticulously captured our trip. With no exaggeration, our 8 days with Barney were life changing and we think of him each and every day.
While we requested clean and comfortable accommodations with private baths, every place we stayed far exceeded our expectations. Nyikani and Mara Mara were the standout favorites. I have spoken with folks who were unsure and had reservations about the food that would be provided. We ate incredibly well–food was more than plentiful, very good to extremely delicious, and the soups were the best I have ever eaten. Service was consistently exceptional.
Honestly, we can’t say enough positive things about our experience and have been recommending Access 2 Tanzania and Barney to all we can.”
“We truly enjoyed our trip to Tanzania with Access to Tanzania. From the beginning, Karen did an excellent job of listening to our needs and explaining everything we had questions about. She even called us after her usual work hours so it was more convenient for us to plan our trip. She created an itinerary for us based on her knowledge of Tanzania and what we wanted to do. Everything on our trip went smoothly. We couldn’t be more pleased with our choice in companies and would refer Access to Tanzania to anyone interested in visiting this wonderful place. There are many companies out there to choose from. We used the internet reviews to pick Access to Tanzania, and we are so very glad that we did. Their slogan is “No worries. We know Tanzania.” Their slogan is very true. They do know Tanzania, and they know what they are doing in terms of planning the best safari vacation that one could experience.”
