Tanzania Guide: Raymond
Review of Raymond
Ray is an excellent guide, wanting to give us the Safari we want. Attentive to our interests from animals to birds to photography. Observant when we wanted to linger for more photos. He also had the right mix of birds for us. We wanted to see birds as a secondary objective and Ray sensed that we were not ornithologists and didn’t need every bird identified but just some of the larger or more colorful ones. On my birthday Ray talked with the cook at camp and arranged for birthday cake … Read More
Perfect safari in Tanzania
Ray was amazing. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much about Tanzanian culture, people, animals… He was also very personable, warm, friendly and fun so we had a great time. We always felt like we were in good hands. He always asked how we were doing and if anything was needed, always on time and ready. Truly, our trip would not have been as great as it was without him.
Best Vacation Ever
Ray was a great guide, his driving ability, knowledge of the parks, knowledge of the animals, ability to spot the animals, knowledge of African culture were all excellent. Ray was extremely friendly; he became part of our family during the Safari. Ray provided us information about which animals we might see and by the end we had seen them all and more. When viewing animals Ray would tell us what the animal would do and it always happened as Ray predicted. We would highly recommend him as your guide.
Outstanding in every way
We had the best time with Ray. His knowledge of wildlife has to be unmatched. He knew where to find them, he could spot them while driving with his bare eyes when they just looked like a speck to everyone else. He went out of his way to accommodate us. We told him we wanted to try Tanzanian food and he arranged two different special meals for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide. I believe Ray is the reason we had such an incredible trip.
Trip of a lifetime
Raymond is just an absolute delight to spend time with. He is positive, knowledgeable and so very kind. I wish he lived closer so that I could visit him often. He was the perfect guide for my daughter and me!!
Tanzania’s Animals and People
Raymond was great! He has a great personality and certainly knew his stuff. He was full of facts and stories about Tanzania, its animals, its people, history and much more. He joined us for dinner several times and we enjoyed his conversations. I can honestly say I think he’s the best driver I’ve ever met! How he got us through some of the muddy roads is a mystery to me. He even drove us through a road where a truck was already stuck in the mud, but he went through … Read More
Trip of a Lifetime!
Raymond was fantastic! Pleasant, friendly, engaged in conversation, knowledgeable, excellent guide, knew the animals and their behaviors. If I ever go back I’ll be requesting Raymond.
Animals, birds, and nature.
Raymond was personable and professional. He was not a bird guide, but he worked hard to ensure that we could identify all the birds we saw. He could find mammals! Saw new animals – cheetah, wild dog, and a few gazelles/antelopes.
Tanzania – a land of wonder and excitement
Raymond was outstanding. He met us at the airport and took care of all our needs from that point until he saw us onto the airplane in the Serengeti. Raymond was very knowledgeable regarding attributes and habits of the wildlife. He was also well versed in the culture, history and social aspects of Tanzania. Raymond was attentive to the specific needs and desires of our group of four people. Raymond had a kind and happy demeanor and was a joy to travel with.
Solo Safari
Ray was knowledgeable, professional and kind. He worked with my schedule and was easy going the whole time. He is truly a gem!
