Tanzania Guide: Raymond
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.
So much thanks to Raymond
There are not enough words to send praise and appreciation for Raymond. He was kind, knowledgable, flexible, an excellent driver and also lots of fun. We felt so supported and cared for by Raymond. I feel like he is a life long friend now. He listened to our requests and worked hard to make our animal viewing dreams come true. And he is a good singer!
Dream guide
He was a fantastic guide for us. Raymond seemed to have eagle eyes, he could drive and spot animals that we could barely see! Once he used his binoculars to verify the animal, he would give us landmarks so we could find the animals with our binoculars. Sometimes we could drive closer to view the animals. He was good at explaining to us what his strategy was going to be when we would be caught in a safari vehicle jam like watching the wildebeest crossing. He knew where to drive … Read More
Wonderful Safari Experience
Raymond did a great job and made sure we saw all of the animals we wanted to. He was also very personable and we got to learn a little about his life in Tanzania. You can tell Raymond loves his job – he went to check out a possible lion feast after we returned from a game drive and then came and got us because it was a good opportunity.
Wildlife Overdose
In many ways Ray made the trip successful with his desire to please the client. He was always ready for our early morning departures and able to answer all of our questions. But above all, his respect for the wildlife and love of Tanzania were obvious and infectious!
Amazing Trip to Tanzania
Ray, was phenomenal. He has 14 years of experience and knows the area like his palm. It was amazing to see that he was more excited than us to see and observe Serengeti. He showed us pretty much everything there to see (e.g., lions, cheetahs, leopards, rhinos, wildebeest immigration), but more importantly, he deeply understood animal behavior and patterns. We not only had the chance to observe those beautiful animals in their natural environment but also learned a lot from him. Ray also has always been very respectful and caring … Read More
Raymond is your guy for Tanzania!!
Ray made our trip the most amazing it could be. We cried when we hugged him to say goodbye. He was super knowledgeable in all of the parks. He got us to places out of the norm so we saw the most we could. He was fun and engaging. If we go again, we would absolutely have to have Ray as our guide!
Everything we hoped for!
Raymond started as a guide and became a dear friend. He was attentive, patient, prepared, and knowledgeable. He made us feel taken care of and safe. His eyes and instinct for the next amazing sighting were amazing. On top of all of this – he was fun to be with for all of those hours and days. We were extremely grateful for the time spent with Ray.
Review of Raymond
Ray’s cheerful, easygoing, easy to laugh personality was the perfect pairing for our traveling party. We appreciated his expertise in driving, locating game, knowledge of the various parks, ability to jockey for the best viewing positions, and cultural knowledge. Ray knows all the parks and where to find the animals. Ray was also a problem solver. I managed to twist my knee the 2nd night in Tanzania. Ray got elastic bandages, muscle ointment and ice for me. When one of the lodges made a mistake in bookings, Ray got it … Read More
Review of Raymond
Raymond was an excellent guide. He made the game drives fun, found great sightings, and seemed to have a good network of guides so we were able to find good sightings of the best animals. When I was not able together into the vehicle, he provided stairs for me, which was much appreciated.
