Tanzania’s Animals and People
Raymond was great! He has a great personality and certainly knew his stuff. He was full of facts and stories about Tanzania, its animals, its people, history and much more. He joined us for dinner several times and we enjoyed his conversations. I can honestly say I think he’s the best driver I’ve ever met! How he got us through some of the muddy roads is a mystery to me. He even drove us through a road where a truck was already stuck in the mud, but he went through it in seconds. He was very safe. He also arranged a meetup with Maningo, our guide in 2013, to say hello in person. Due to delayed flights, my sister-in-law, daughter and I arrived at the airport hours after my brother’s arrival. Rather than take my brother to the hotel, Raymond stayed with him at the airport and got to know him quite well. When my sister-in-law’s luggage was lost, he followed up with the office daily and updated her regularly. He drove back to get her luggage while we were in the hotel in the Ngorongoro Crater. Raymond was particularly good at positioning our vehicle for the best photographs. He let us decide when we were ready to move on if we wanted to stay longer for viewing.
“Incredible. If you’re planning a safari, look no further—Access 2 Tanzania delivers a truly exceptional experience from start to finish. The company is both highly professional and refreshingly personal. We loved that we had a single point of contact throughout the process—Karen, the owner—which made planning seamless and stress-free. Communication was excellent; they were always available for questions but also consistently one step ahead, guiding us through everything from visas to immunizations. Their client-first approach was clear in every interaction. The accommodations they selected for us were outstanding, and early in the process we appreciated being able to explore different options and costs to find what worked best for us. We felt supported, informed, and excited every step of the way.”
