Richard Michael is resourceful, experienced, courteous, and loyal.
On the evening of December 2, 2023, I arrived by bus in Arusha, Tanzania. I met Richard Michael, who directed and accompanied me to my destination: the Arusha Backpackers Hotel. I was told by the hotel staff that car rentals were not open on Sundays, the next day. After checking in, I left the hotel to find an IBM and a restaurant. Richard was outside and helped me find both. At the restaurant, I told him my situation: I had been sponsoring a boy in Kitumbeine for 4 1/2 years and I wanted to visit him the next day, but the car rental places would be closed. He called Styve Worldreech Loseria (whom I’d met just after my bus arrived) who came to the restaurant and he arranged my trip to Ketumbiene for the next day.
On the morning of December 3, Styve asked me if I would like Richard to accompany me, and I said yes. Thank goodness I did! He spoke to various Maasai people who told us how far it was to the village. And, when a rock knocked out our oil pan and gear box, he spoke with the local mechanic, who fixed our vehicle. He also found out that Ndungani (the boy I sponsored) had returned to his home village 45 kilometres away. It was getting dark, so we had to return to Arusha.
Early on the morning of December 5, Richard and I returned to Ketumbiene with Styve and our driver (I’ve forgotten his name and it’s not in my journal) and I finally met Ndungani.
If I had not met Richard, I doubt that any of this would have been possible.

We had a truly amazing experience thanks to Wildguide Safari & Tours
Our safari was truly amazing and one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives thanks to the quality of the service provided by the tour operator.
Communication and organization prior to the safari were very smooth and easy. The advisors were all very knowledgeable and reactive, they took the time to answer all our questions and provided us with useful tips. They were all very much willing to arrange everything to fit our needs and desires.
Everything was set up very well from when we arrived until our departure. The accommodations and car were perfect. Finally, the guides were absolutely great!
Professional, friendly and willing to share their passion for nature and their country.
Our tour comprised Arusha NP, Tarangire NP, Manyara NP, Serengeti NP and Ngorongoro crater. We just can't describe the beauty of them all here! They really are beyond expectations.
