More than a guide…an integral and irreplaceable part of our trip.
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.
“Top notch! Everything was well planned. The lodging was amazing. My favorite was Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge. It was located about 8000 feet in a very lush forest, constructed of river rock and polished African hardwoods – absolutely beautiful! The website pictures of all the places we stayed looked nice but the actual experience of staying at these places was well beyond expectations. Whenever we went to a new destination there was always some one to greet us, take us to our hotels, airport, etc.
Access 2 Tanzania attended to every detail including all the arrangements for our post-safari extension to Zanzibar. The hotels provided great breakfasts and dinners and even the boxed lunches we ate out in the “bush” were pretty decent. Our guide, Maningo, was excellent. He truly wanted all of us to have the best African experiences. If we ever travel to Africa in the future, Access 2 Tanzania will be our first choice.”
