I cannot praise Ray enough… truly. As a curious sole, he answered every one of my crazy questions about the country, animals and nature with confidence and patience. From the moment we met him we could tell he the perfect fit. He was incredibly friendly (not just with us but it was very obvious he was a valued guide in the industry) and professional while making us feel welcome and respected. He was funny, knowledgable, kind, generous and took great pride in his country and his job. I also think it’s important to mention his incredible driving skills. He made rugged terrain feel like a smooth ride by his sheer talent behind the wheel. Not only that but his familiarity with the trails and road was just superb. Over the course of the trip, we began to feel like Ray was more than a guide, he was a travel companion of ours that we valued as an integral and irreplaceable part of our trip.
“I thought it well-run and organized. It is a scary venture, heading into a completely different environment and culture. We never felt lost or abandoned or at any time unsettled or unsafe. And this was entirely because of the on site staff and our guide. This supports the company’s description that while the infrastructure may be managed by folks both in the US and in TZ, the training and support of the staff to care for us and manage our trip was incredible. Even with a minor medical need for antibiotics way in the midst of the Serengeti, our guide was in touch with A2T staff and arranged a stop in at a local remote clinic to get what we needed. We didn’t miss a moment of our adventure and our companion received excellent medical care. We moved around a lot and yet we never had transportation glitches or hotel issues. It was seamless.”
