Both Ray and Elly very professional at all times and exuded passion for their work. They were highly knowledgeable about the “Big Five” and other animals, including their behavior, habitats, and how to track them. They were exceptional, it’s thanks to the guide’s keen eyes and spotting ability we got to see the Big Five! They were very professional, making you feel like you were traveling with a friend ultimately making experience more exciting and memorable! They shared information about Tanzania’s history, culture, and the different national parks. They communicated clearly, answered questions readily, and build rapport with everyone; they became part of our group! Since we had 2 camera men, they were always patient allowing ample time for observation and photography, and catered to specific interests and preferences. They really made the experience more unforgettable! They even laughed everytime I asked to “pet the lions belly”.
“I had a fabulous time! My guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. He accommodated my requests but also used his experience to gently nudge me when he knew better viewing opportunities would occur. I really appreciated that so that I got the best overall experience. I was pleased with the accommodations as well. I was also able to learn a bit about how other companies operate with freelance guides so that made me appreciate Access 2 Tanzania’s business practices even more. I feel good that my money went to an ethical company that also gives back to the communities.”
