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. read more

Highly recommend Access2Tanzania. We did a two week Safari with our two kids ages 6 and 8 and had a wonderful time with impeccable hotels and our fantastic guide Nasibu. He was really flexible with our kids and they loved him. He knew every animal, plant and bird. They really know what they are doing. read more

We (my wife and I) just came back from a three week trip to Africa. A gorilla trek in Rwanda which also included a day exploring Kigali. Then two weeks on safari in Tanzania. There is not enough room on this website to list all the "pros" of this company - there are no "cons". In a nutshell, everything was fabulous - way beyond expectations. It started with Karen, the owner of Access2Tanzania. She listened to our wishes, planned our trip, kept in touch throughout the process and saved us tons of anxiety. The guides were the best, the lodgings were perfect and everything was perfectly arranged - no problems with permits, lodging, transportation, etc. It was incredible. We were treated like celebrity guests from start to finish. I will list my email address and phone for anyone who would like a more in depth discussion. Should we go back to Africa, we would not even consider another company - A2T is the best. I will add this: If you're looking for a bargain trip with a tour group, A2T is not for you. A2T plans your trek/safari specifically for you and your needs. We were offered every possible option from economy to luxury and we chose the middle/comfortable options. I can't comment on cost because I have nothing to compare it to. I am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and we got much, much more than we paid for. We came home from our "trip of a lifetime" (wife's 70th birthday trip) and we were 100% satisfied with zero complaints - all thanks to Karen, our guides and A2T.

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. read more
