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!
“We had a fabulous adventure. We saw so many animals in the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti. Our guide Willy helped us see so many things. His knowledge base for the areas and the animals was great. He anticipated animals coming into the area, mating and where we may see the animals. He used my camera to help focus in on the areas when we were struggling to see the animals (mostly in trees). The pre-trip emailed information, videos, etc. were helpful.”
