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 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.
“I had a fabulous time! My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He accommodated my requests but also used his experience to gently nudge me when he knew better viewing opportunities would occur. I really appreciated that so that I got the best overall experience. I was pleased with the accommodations as well. I was also able to learn a bit about how other companies operate with freelance guides so that made me appreciate Access 2 Tanzania’s business practices even more. I feel good that my money went to an ethical company that also gives back to the communities.”
