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”.
“Karen was very helpful in designing our trip and helping with planning: there was hardly anything for us to do in preparation! And our guide Said was a skilled naturalist as well as a capable driver. We came across washed out roads twice in our trip, and Said had no trouble getting us through AND helping others who got stuck!”
