Tanzania Guide: Raymond
Trip of a lifetime
Ray was fantastic. I can’t praise him enough. He had a thorough knowledge of the animals and birds and seemed to have a sixth sense when it came to finding the animals. He was polite, very considerate of his travelers, and was a pleasure to be around. I would highly recommend him to anyone planning a trip to Tanzania. One of the members of our party was a pretty serious birder, and he found his match in Ray. So if anyone has an interest in birds, as well as the … Read More
Awesome trip with Access 2 Tanzania and Raymond!
Our guide, Raymond, was the highlight of our trip. When you are traveling to a country such as Tanzania with the goal of seeing lots of wildlife, your trip is completely dependent on your tour guide. We really lucked out to get a courteous, knowledgeable, and fun guide in Raymond. We felt completely safe as he was a very good driver and we saw so much wildlife as Raymond was often the one that would spot the animals. One of the days, Raymond was the one that spotted a cheetah … Read More
Awesome experience
Ray was awesome very knowledgeable, caring and most of all very passionate about his work. He made our safari experience very memorable and we love him. If we ever go back, we would not have anyone else other than him. I would strongly recommend him to our friends and family.
Spectacular in all respects
Ray was spectacular in all respects: friendly, very knowledgeable (about animals, TNZ, and US), hard-working, excellent driving (in some pretty tough conditions sometimes), easy to spend long days with in the vehicle (relaxed, easy going). We enjoyed Ray’s company very much. We are more than “good to go” with Ray. Even invited him to stay with us should he ever travel to the US.
Ray an Exceptional Guide and Tour Leader
Ray showed us what we came to see, an abundance of wildlife. His eyesight is phenomenal, spotting wildlife too distant for me to see without optical aids. I don’t know how he was able to do it. He speaks English very well, has a good sense of humor, and is easy to talk to. Ray handles the driving tasks exceptionally well. The roads were nearly impassible in places, but he got us through or went around. He knows the territory extremely well. Our safety was his primary concern.
Safari Fantasy
Maningo was wonderful, very knowledgeable and extremely patient. He searched out every animal we asked to see. Most of all, he is a nice man.
What an unforgettable experience!
As mentioned before, Ray was excellent. Not only personable but extremely knowledgeable and you could see the passion that he has for his job. we feel very fortunate that he was our guide for the week.
Way above expectations
Raymond has a love and passion for the job that he does. He is so knowledgeable and insightful of everything we came across. From not only all the animals, but also the geography, the people and Tanzania. He has this incredible ability to find the animals. I really enjoyed our conversations at dinner.
Fantastic time in Tanzania
We loved Ray. He’s very dedicated to his job and to his clients, was great at spotting wildlife, while sharing details of his life and the history of Tanzania. We learned so much from him. He’s very patient, accommodating, and funny – in fact, I felt that our personalities really clicked. He’s an all-around great guy. GO RAY, we miss you!
The hunt for the “Big Five” and the tortoise too!
Ray was very knowledgable and informative. He knew the areas we travelled very well and appeared to know many of the other guides while on the safari. They often tipped each other off when seeing sights and animals of particular interest. He was always prompt and courteous.
