“We had a fantastic trip! We could not believe the things that we saw the places that we stayed were wonderful. The food was wonderful. An unbelievable experience. Our guide Barney was fantastic. He was kind, gracious knowledgeable, and when you spend hours in a Safari Jeep with somebody for days on end, you hope that there’s somebody you’d like to be with and he definitely was. Such a great man, and there wasn’t anything he didn’t know. We learned so much from him and really enjoyed his company. He went out of his way to find the types of animals we were looking for.”

“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.”
