Raymond was phenomenal! He insisted on picking us up, even though our flight arrived at 1:30AM and his enthusiasm was infectious from the minute we met him. He made our safari experience a trip of a lifetime with his in-depth knowledge, wonderful stories, and friendship. We love history and politics and Ray was a perfect match for us. His knowledge of Tanzania’s rich history as well as its current sociopolitical landscape, made for great discussions every day! In addition, his driving was fantastic and we always felt safe with him at the helm. He always went above and beyond to make the trip memorable in little ways. For example, when I had mentioned in passing that I would love to try Chipsi mayai, he secretly went to the chef at a camp we were staying at and asked them to make it for me one evening. We would highly recommend Ray to others travelers using Access to Tanzania!

“Access 2 Tanzania provide excellent service from the initial inquiries to returning home with unforgettable memories. The planning process felt very collaborative and productive. All participants were heard and had their questions answered. The choices of lodging and flow of the entire trip were comfortable and met all of our goals. Our group felt very supported and safe throughout the adventure. Because we were familiar with many other’s experiences, we had extremely high expectations and not only were they met, but were exceeded! Thank you to Karen and staff for the planning and guidance.”
