Raymond was very knowledgeable about wildlife, since he has a two year degree in this area. He was friendly and willing to share. He works hard and long hours. He could sense when to give people quiet time. He is a safe a courteous driver. Having a safe driver was important to us after having spent a prior week experiencing how driving can be in Tanzania. He knew the parks well and could spot wildlife that others might not see. He got us in position to see a stalk by a cheetah and then got us in a new position to see the kill by this same cheetah, which took skill to know where the cheetah would be going and to get there without spooking the kill. Every morning he brought us a cleaned up vehicle, which had to be difficult considering the dusty environment. He dressed professionally, and spoke highly of his employer as a good company that takes care of its employees, its customers and gives back to the poor in Tanzania.

“Excellent. From the beginning, Karen helped us design a custom trip that fit our interests. For example, my partner is very interested in birds. We got birds. We were interested in avoiding crowds. We did, as much as possible. And the choice of Mkomazi was ideal. There were remarkably few glitches along the way, and Joachim addressed each of them with calm professionalism. The trip was as close to perfect as we could have imagined. From Karen’s initial consultations to Joachim’s expert guiding, we could not have asked for more.”
