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!
“Knowledgeable and professional. Willing to tailor itinerary to the needs of the clients – our itinerary was a little complicated with additional stops in Selous and Mafia Island and Karen took the time to work with us to make it all happen. Casey also made himself available mid-trip when we encountered difficulties with our camp due to the controlled burning in the Serengeti.”
