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.
“We had a wonderful experience. We did not know what to expect going into organizing this trip but we felt very well supported and felt that the trip was tailored to our needs, interests and preferences. Thanks to the videos, the FAQ pages, the summary document and the videochat we had with Karen ahead of departing we were fully prepared for the trip and didn’t have any surprises.
Our guide Willy was phenomenal. We had a lot of fun driving around with him and we really appreciated his good nature, his knowledge, his passion for the game drives and animals, and his excellent driving skills.”
