Review of Raymond
Ray is an excellent guide, wanting to give us the Safari we want. Attentive to our interests from animals to birds to photography. Observant when we wanted to linger for more photos. He also had the right mix of birds for us. We wanted to see birds as a secondary objective and Ray sensed that we were not ornithologists and didn’t need every bird identified but just some of the larger or more colorful ones.
On my birthday Ray talked with the cook at camp and arranged for birthday cake to be the dessert of the evening. The staff as they usually do began dancing and singing throughout the dining area carrying a cake. They came to our table and sang “happy birthday.” That’s going out of his way for guests. A most memorable birthday for sure.
“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.”
