Access 2 Tanzania

Fabulous trip by terrific Access 2 Tanzania

I’ve been to east Africa a good number of times since my first trip in 2015. As my 80th birthday approached, I decided the idel celebration would be to invite a set of my beloved younger relatives to join me on a 10 day safari to Tanzania—the perfect country for those wanting to experience this magnificent region of the world. I diligently researched and interviewed potential companies and selected A2T. Total success ensued. Casey helped in every step and did 2 zoom calls with my group of 6,ages 15-80, including one adult couple , a mom and her teen daughter, a 26 year old young singleton, and me. Every one of us had a fantastic time on the fascinating trip. Every detail of the planning worked seemlessly. Our great good fortune was to have Raymond as our guide. Knowledgeable, smart, kind, and enthusiastic, he was the heart and brains of the trip. He found rare animals, made us laugh, solved every issue with grace and competence. Hats off to Casey, Raymond, and A2T. Also, hooray for Tanzania for preserving its natural treasures for all the world It’s a beautiful, amazing country.

Amazing, caring, personable team who love their clients as much as they do Tanzania!

We cannot express enough gratitude and give my wholehearted recommendation for Access 2 Tanzania!!
First, Casey is absolutely the best and made sure every detail of our trip was perfectly adjusted to our needs. He was constantly in contact with us throughout the trip even with a huge time difference, making sure everyone was doing well. We traveled with our two daughters (ages 11 & 14) so this was no easy task. We started in Arusha, then went on to Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, Serengeti, and Zanzibar. Two of our duffle bags were missing from Kilimanjaro airport so this made things even more difficult from the onset. Fear not, our tour guide, Danny E., calmed us down and took care of everything. One of the nice ladies at the Access 2 Tanzania Arusha office brought us some cool logo gear and kept checking with the airline. A few days later, Danny drove two hours roundtrip to pick up our bags at the Tarangire park entrance during his “down time.”
Next, Danny is personable, funny, and extremely knowledgeable. He was especially adept at handling our daughters’ different needs and personalities. We ALL loved being with Danny and could not have been more thrilled to have him as our guide. He made sure we got up very early to see animals that are difficult to spot as the crowds and heat picked up each day. I am sure all A2T guides are terrific, but we absolutely adored Danny. It is clear he loves people, his job, and his beautiful country.
In all, we had an incredible trip. Six months later and we are still raving about this trip of a lifetime. We cannot thank you and recommend you enough, Access 2 Tanzania.

Vacation of a lifetime!

It was a phenomenal experience to be totally immersed in the nature, beauty, animals and culture of Tanzania and all the while feel very safe and comfortable. We were a family of four, husband, wife, 2 grown children (29 and 34). Would probably not take children under 12 on a safari. From the moment we were picked up at Kilimanjaro Airport, our amazing guide Wily Philemon made us welcome in his country and continuously showed us or taught us about the remarkable people, animals and landscapes of Tanzania. The company, Access2Tanzania is very professional and had us extremely well prepared. Their website has an excellent breadth of information and the staff quickly responded to any other questions we had in preparation. They offer a wide array of lodging opportunities and are very knowledgeable as to pros and cons of each selection. They organize them by price and location. They feature several options dependent upon size of party and time contraints. We had our own guide that was with us the entire 7 days. Our safari vehicle was well equipped. Communication from the vehicle to others was excellent and consistent, important when driving into the serengeti. Each of the lodges we stayed at had excellent food and very clean and safe lodging. We not only traveled among the animals but had stops to meet with a Masai tribe, stopped and saw a tribal woodworker and explored the Olduvai Gorge. The animals were, of course the major draw of this adventure and we saw more animals than we could dream of. I particularly appreciate that a percentage of the cost goes to the schools and children of Tanzania. I also like that the company employs its own guides. Our guide, Willy was a phenomenal guide and became a great friend. The company Access2Tanzania is an excellent organization that created a wonderful and safe trip for my family. Would do again in a heartbeat.

Trip of a lifetime

Our Northern Circuit Tanzania safari was planned, to perfection, by Casey of Access2Tanzania. The company specializes in custom, private tours. We had a single guide throughout the 9 days of our safari; from airport to Tarangire to Ngorongoro to Northern Serengeti. The safari was planned to perfection. Every detail was double and triple checked. Our guide, Danny, ensured that our time in Tanzania was as perfect as humanly possible. Five stars doesn't seem enough!

Amazing from start to finish!

Wonderful company and staff that led us through every aspect of our safari. Our guide was incredible! A trip of a lifetime.

I experienced both the flora&fauna of Tanzania and the real life of villagers with Access2Tanzania.

Access2Tanzania was extremely professional in keeping the participants informed of the itinerary, any necessary changes, what to expect in the various places we would stay, what clothes to bring, incidental costs not covered in the tour price, and a general background of village life in Tanzania. We experienced the best of the Northern Circuit in Lake Manyara, NgoroNgoro Conservation Area, Serengeti and the NgoroNgoro Crater. We saw so much more than just the Big Five. Our guide, Fulgence was unbelievably knowledgeable, humorous, kind and patient. Seeing the children supported by Project Zawadi in Nyamuswa was wonderful and put our ability to enjoy this safari in perspective. We stayed in very nice places with a few very special ones and experienced the hospitality of Tanzanians everywhere we went. This tour company really knows what it is doing to show off the whole world of Tanzania.

Their personal attention to your needs is second to none from the minute you contact them to the time you leave for home. They have excellent local guides who provide you with personal attention for the complete trip.
