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 of the animals. Occasionally, I saw guides cornering or unnecessarily disturbing an animal while competing with each other to make their clients happy. Ray never did that. Instead, he often took us to locations where we could observe a shy animal, like a cheetah, without any other safari Jeep around. He was also a wonderful person and an excellent company.
“Very pleased. A2T clearly respects Africa (Tanzania) #1, and knows how to help first time travelers to Africa prepare to travel, respect local customs and enjoy a lifetime experience. I respect that your drivers are all A2T employees not contract guides. We asked them about working for A2T and they were enthusiastic about achieving a very good job with a good company. They were responsive to our group, personable in every way, and let us know through occasional humor that they enjoyed us and their work.
They really became the heart of the safari experience with their incredible skills and knowledge and ability to know where they were in what seemed to me like the middle of nowhere. I am one of those travelers that likes to know where I am on the planet, and I was totally in awe of driving around Nngorongor and the Serengeti without a sense of direction. I loved it.”
