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”.
“Outstanding, from the extensive help and advice we got from Casey O’Connell before the trip to our guide Maningo’s astute managing of our day-to-day safari, and from the folks who worked at the hotels, lodges, and tent camps we stayed in during our Tanzania adventure to the wonderful animals themselves, who never disappointed–all in all an incredible experience.”
