Raymond greatly increased the enjoyment of our safari. He was focused on providing the absolutely best experience we could have while we were with him. He was extremely knowledgeable in wildlife behavior. He was able to get us in the perfect position for some great photography without negatively impacting the wildlife. While other guides would “chase” wildlife, he would anticipate what the animals were going to do or where they were headed and he would set us up to get the perfect view. He listened to what we were interested in and tailored each day accordingly. We had long days of game drives (9-12 hours every day) in which he never seemed to tire of showing us the wonders of Tanzania. He had a great sense of humor, was extremely knowledgeable of all the places we visited – the wildlife, the plants, the birds and the culture including information about the different tribes. He answered all of our questions with patience and provided additional information on subjects we would have never thought to ask about. It is easy to see how a guide can make or break a safari and Raymond was exceptional!
“My overall experience with Access 2 Tanzania was excellent. Karen was great from the start until the end of the safari trip. She was prompt in responding to all emails and phone calls. She was able to answer every question we had and was very knowledgeable of all aspects of the trip. The itinerary of the safari was planned perfectly around everything that we wanted to see and do. In addition, I cannot say enough good things about our guide, Noel. Noel was also very knowledgeable of all of the wildlife and navigating the areas of the safari that we went on. He was also a pleasure to be around for the entire week and made us feel very comfortable with everything, including checking in with the lodges, the hot air balloon, and our flight out of the Serengeti. Noel made it a point to make us happy and satisfied with all aspects of the safari. I would absolutely recommend anyone taking a trip to Tanzania to use Access 2 Tanzania and to also specifically request Noel as their guide!”
