Raymond is a highly skilled, knowledgeable guide who goes above and beyond.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Raymond as our guide for our Tanzanian safari, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Raymond was professional, punctual, and incredibly well-organized. He communicated clearly each day, making us feel comfortable and informed throughout the journey.
Raymond’s knowledge of the wildlife was truly impressive — he had a sharp eye for spotting animals and could identify them effortlessly, often adding fascinating facts about their behavior and habitats. Thanks to him, we had unforgettable sightings that we might have missed otherwise.
He’s also an excellent driver, navigating both rough terrain and long distances with skill and care. We always felt safe and well looked after. On top of all that, Raymond had a great sense of where to stop for lunch — every spot was scenic, peaceful, and added to the overall experience.
Raymond’s passion for his work and the Tanzanian landscape really shone through. We feel lucky to have had him as our guide and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari.

Raymond a was extremely amazing, professional and extremely ethical towards animals and landscape.
Raymond!! what a guide, we were so lucky to have. He was great from the start to finish, he always had time to explain what was happening around us. We got to see all the Big 5 plus so so much more, but what struck me the most is his ethical and yet smart approach to seeing the animals. He knew how to correctly position the jeep to not harm the flora or fauna but also end up being in the best spot to capture photos with all the other cars not in your photos. Yes we seen other jeeps going off trail and fighting there way around but Raymond had already positioned our jeep as he could see what the animal was about to do. Raymond definitely loves what he does and it shows. Not just a regular tour guide.

Best Safari experience
Hands down the best tour I’ve ever been on. We went on a 6 day Safari Tour and Raymond made it an unforgettable one for myself and the family. He was professional to start with and warmed up to us quickly. Super accommodative and very eager to show us what Tanzania had to offer from the lovely people and community, to the fresh food and of course the amazing animals.
Would 100% recommend him for anyone who wants a great adventure and will definitely be back for other tours with Raymond next time

Raymond African Safaris—unforgettable adventures, breathtaking wildlife, and a guide who feels like
I can't say enough great things about Raymond African Safaris and the man behind it, Raymond himself. I first met Raymond when he led a safari for me and my friends, and what started as an incredible guided experience quickly turned into a lasting friendship.
From the moment we set out, Raymond's deep knowledge of the land, wildlife, and local culture made every moment unforgettable. He has an uncanny ability to track animals, and thanks to him, we witnessed some of the most breathtaking sights—majestic lions on the hunt, a massive herd of elephants up close, and even the elusive leopard lounging in a tree. Every day felt like a scene straight out of a documentary, only better, because we were living it.
But what truly sets Raymond apart is his passion and warmth. He doesn't just lead safaris—he creates experiences that stay with you forever. Whether it was sharing stories around the campfire, explaining animal behavior with incredible detail, or making sure we always felt safe and comfortable, he went above and beyond in every way.
If you're considering a safari, do yourself a favor and book with Raymond—you won’t just get a guide; you’ll gain a friend and memories that will last a lifetime.

Very wise and a very nice way about him.
Raymound was very reliable and very informational while on safari. He has interesting facts about every animal we stopped to look at. We felt very safe with his driving and really enjoyed having him as part of the family during our experience. We had many questions for him throughout our trip and he answered them all for us.

Raymond knocks it out of the park!!!
We were impressed by Raymond right off the bat. His promptness, engaging personality and knowledge of the National Parks roads and wildlife were top notch. He was also very friendly and inquisitive asking about our family and my photography hobby. He was genuinely interested in the photography aspect so I gave him a camera to try and showed him some pointers of which he was very receptive. His job as a safari guide gives him an excellent opportunity to capture some of nature’s most beautiful events. Thanks to Raymond this was the adventure of a lifetime for us and we look forward to another safari in the future. We hit home run with Raymond and are truly grateful, thanks Raymond.

Awesome Raymond!
We have just returned from our 8 day safari , a trip of a lifetime guided by Raymond! It was Incredible! From first meeting Raymond we knew our week of adventures was going to be amazing. He is so personable , kind and patient and so knowledgeable and cared only about providing us with the best experience! Raymond’s knowledge of the animals and the landscapes we travelled is vast , we experienced Elephants and Giraffe and Zebra and Wildebeest and my husband’s favourites, the cats up close! So many animals and birds , my husband, a photographer was in his glory! Raymond provided delicious lunches each day and the Land Cruiser was stocked with water and alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages.
We have already shared with our friends the experience Raymond provided, it was an unforgettable experience and we hope to return again, we will not hesitate and will look forward to seeing our ‘friend’ Raymond again😊

Adventure of a lifetime
Raymond provided us with an unforgettable safari experience! We visited during calving season so we got to see lots of baby animals! We enjoyed every moment of our 7 day safari from:
1. The Chase: Raymond will do all he can to get you to see as many animals as possible, while sharing his extensive knowledge on each animal. Don’t worry, Raymond is a very safe and experienced driver!
2. The People: We met some of the most kind, incredible and resilient people along our journey (including Raymond!). It was amazing to share cultural experiences and learn about the lives of not only locals, but also of the people in different tribes that you will get to visit.
3. The Food and drink: This thoroughly surprised us! We were spoiled with freshly cooked meals everyday, even on game drives. The Jeep also came fully loaded with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.
Thank you Raymond for making our first safari adventure so special!
