Ray’s cheerful, easygoing, easy to laugh personality was the perfect pairing for our traveling party. We appreciated his expertise in driving, locating game, knowledge of the various parks, ability to jockey for the best viewing positions, and cultural knowledge. Ray knows all the parks and where to find the animals.
Ray was also a problem solver. I managed to twist my knee the 2nd night in Tanzania. Ray got elastic bandages, muscle ointment and ice for me. When one of the lodges made a mistake in bookings, Ray got it fixed too.
“It was excellent! The pre-trip planning with Karen was great and she and/or Allison promptly answered my many questions at various points prior to our actual trip. Also, Karen was extremely helpful in making our final day in Tanzania as comfortable as possible – she arranged for us to spend the afternoon in the Arusha Access 2 Tanzania day room. Our transport guide for the day, Haji, brought us a wonderful selection of Tanzanian food for lunch! He as well as Stella and the A2T staff were very nice and welcoming! Our safari guide Noel was such a good man and an excellent guide. He was thrilled to learn that we had requested him at the recommendation of my friend, and he didn’t disappoint. I don’t know how anyone can navigate the unmarked Serengeti roads like he did. He made sure that we were comfortable, safe, and had everything that we needed. During the trip, another A2T guide, David, and his 2 passengers (whom we previously met during the village tour) invited us into their land cruiser to watch the wildebeest crossing because they had a better position. We really appreciated that!”
