We had an unforgettable, magical time in Tanzania and Ray is the main reason for this. We traveled with our 9-year old daughter and Ray had a sixth sense of what our needs were. Ray so clearly loves children, and we all connected very easily with him and loved spending time with him. We learned so much from him – about the wildlife we saw, but also about the country’s culture and language. He was always punctual and very patient with our tardiness, striking a perfect balance between just letting us be and pushing us at times to get up earlier so we could go for bigger outings. He was professional, respectful, and always positive. He was an excellent driver and we felt safe with him at all times. We wish we could have stayed for longer and miss him.
“My trip to Tanzania was the first time I went on a trip that I didn’t plan myself. It was daunting trying to decide on a trip operator solely by using the internet because I don’t personally know anyone who had been to TZ. Emails with Karen were answered promptly and our first phone call really put me at ease. The A2T website was easy to navigate and between that and my own internet research I rarely felt the need to reach out to ask questions. It was great to get an itinerary from Karen, who knew TZ so well. I liked that A2T had a small focus so I know that they had a deep understanding of the options. This was also the most expensive trip I had ever taken and I didn’t want to make any big mistakes that would diminish our experience. Lastly, this trip was particularly special because I was bringing my 2 adult children and I have no idea when we will be able to travel together again. It was important for me to plan a memorable and enjoyable trip.”
