Review of Raymond
Raymond made the trip for us, his knowledge was amazing, and he had the best personality. “Life is good” was his quote! He can spot an animal a mile away!

Unbelievable! Not only was Raymond incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals and African culture, he was enthusiastic and determined to make our trip as enjoyable as possible.

Raymond our tour guide was the best. He made sure that we got the most out of our Safari’s every day. He was determined we were going to see everything. The only thing we did not see were the Rhinos but is was not for Raymond not trying. He is so knowledgeable about all the wild life and the culture. He took very good care of us. Never felt unsafe with him. I told him he has bionic eyes because he could spot anything. And I also called him a Wild Animal Whisper. LOL!
Read this Review >WOW!
Raymond was wonderful. He always found all the animals every day. As ladies, he let us know bathroom stops were nearby except for the Serengeti which we had to experience the bush…it was fine. Much easier than I thought! Raymond was a delight and we joked with each other often. He gets a 10! Send him my best. He even got bonus points some days!
Read this Review >The best guide!
We cannot say enough good things about Raymond! He was prompt, friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife. In the eight days we spent with him, we learned so much. He became our friend and it was hard to tell him bye. If we ever come back, we will want Raymond to be our guide again!
Read this Review >Once in a Lifetime Experience
Both Ray and Elly very professional at all times and exuded passion for their work. They were highly knowledgeable about the “Big Five” and other animals, including their behavior, habitats, and how to track them. They were exceptional, it’s thanks to the guide’s keen eyes and spotting ability we got to see the Big Five! They were very professional, making you feel like you were traveling with a friend ultimately making experience more exciting and memorable! They shared information about Tanzania’s history, culture, and the different national parks. They communicated clearly, answered questions readily, and build rapport with everyone; they became part of our group! Since we had 2 camera men, they were always patient allowing ample time for observation and photography, and catered to specific interests and preferences. They really made the experience more unforgettable! They even laughed everytime I asked to “pet the lions belly”.

– Amazing guide, very willing to work with us to plan the day – Could spot animals and birds that we would scarcely see – We saw 10 Servals, 8 Cheetahs, 4 Leopards and uncountable Lions during the course of our trip – Excellent driving in wet conditions

Raymond was fun to be with. He is very knowledgeable about the animals and taught us a lot. He was very patient and was very accommodating.
Read this Review >Exceeded expectations (and our expectations were high)
Raymond greatly increased the enjoyment of our safari. He was focused on providing the absolutely best experience we could have while we were with him. He was extremely knowledgeable in wildlife behavior. He was able to get us in the perfect position for some great photography without negatively impacting the wildlife. While other guides would “chase” wildlife, he would anticipate what the animals were going to do or where they were headed and he would set us up to get the perfect view. He listened to what we were interested in and tailored each day accordingly. We had long days of game drives (9-12 hours every day) in which he never seemed to tire of showing us the wonders of Tanzania. He had a great sense of humor, was extremely knowledgeable of all the places we visited – the wildlife, the plants, the birds and the culture including information about the different tribes. He answered all of our questions with patience and provided additional information on subjects we would have never thought to ask about. It is easy to see how a guide can make or break a safari and Raymond was exceptional!
Read this Review >Most knowledgeable and experienced guide
Raymond was excellent, he provided so much insight to animals behaviors and species and due to his multiple year experience was able to take us to locations which allowed us to see the big 5 and all other animals in the park. He helped us schedule our days, picked up our lunches and accompanied us throughout the trip, available to guide us at every step – Highly recommend him.
