Access 2 Tanzania

My husband and I spent more than a year working the Karen to create the perfect honeymoon holiday. She was so patient and understanding over the course of our need to take the time off work and save the money to take this adventure trip the way we wanted. We settled on an 10 day (6 safari and 4 beach) trip that was truly magical. Before leaving, Access prepared us with plenty of information and advice at our fingertips but upon arrival, we met the best part of our trip… our guide Ray.
I could spend this entire review praising Ray alone but I will summarize by saying that Ray became more than a guide for us. He was a travel companion that was funny, knowledgable, patient, accommodating, kind, generous, well respected by his peers and the communities, a superb driver (he’s also been a mechanic in his former trade), was just as excited about the animals as us and had so much pride and love for his country that it radiated onto us as well.
During our trip, and in this order, we regrouped in Arusha for 1 night then visited Tarangire for 1 night, Ngorongoro for 2 nights and the Serengeti for 2 nights. We were fortunate to spot all of the animals we hoped to see and more. From there we capped our trip by a 4 night stay in Zanzibar that was coordinated through the local operating partner Zanzibar Unique.
As you can guess, I cannot speak more highly of or rave enough about the professionalism and excellence of Access 2 Tanzania. This company and it’s staff make dreams comes true.

I was in the early stages of planning our recent trip to Tanzania and had been working with a competing travel consultant. She was doing a so so job, but I a little less than satisfied with her response time. It was then I called a friend of mine. He is experienced in adventure type travel and thought he might be able to give me a few hints on who to call. He did not even hesitate when recommending Access 2 Tanzania.
From our very first contact with Casey (our EXPERT travel consultant), he demonstrated that they are truly professionals when arranging trips to Eastern Africa. Every step of the way, Casey made sure that our needs were met and every detail was thoroughly covered.
Our final itinerary was near perfection, contact numbers both here and in Tanzania were included. Not a single time during our journey were we left out in the cold wondering what would happen next. Our guide was (Alex) top notch (which by the way are full time employees of Access 2 Tanzania) and went above and beyond to make sure we were fully taken care of. In fact we met 8 of the 10 guides during our stay and every single one of them were awesome! Obviously I am little biased and will always recommend requesting Alex, but if for some reason he is booked you will be assured of a highly skilled safari guide.
There were a few pleasant surprises along the way, for example on our flight to Zanzibar we had a two hour layover in Arusha. One of the guides caught wind of this and made sure to greet us at the airport and stayed with us the entire time.
This is one of the easiest five star reviews I have ever written. Access 2 Tanzania proved to be one of the smartest decisions I have made.
