Exceeded expectations (and our expectations were high)
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!
“Very positive. Casey was very responsive and helpful in planning the trip. We told him vaguely what we wanted to do and he planned an agenda. He also explored options that we were interested in but in the end did not include in our trip. He was willing to meet with us personally and walk thru the trip with us which was very helpful in answering questions and dealing withthe anxiety we had.”
