Richard guided us - a family with two girls of 7 and 13 years of age - on a four-day safari through Lake Manyara, Ngorongoro and Tarangire. He is a very calm and respectful man with a lot of knowledge about the parks, the animals, and Tanzania as a whole. We felt very safe with him, as he showed a good understanding of animal behavior on several occasions. 

Normally, we like doing our own thing, but we would certainly not have seen as much wildlife and learned as much, hadn't we had Richard with us. For instance, spotting the lion in a tree, and later on the leopard in a tree - we would never have known they were even there!

It was unusually wet for this time of year, but Richard made sure, we didn't get stuck (a challenging task for sure!), while still ensuring we saw a lot. 

Richard had a good feeling of when to stop for wildlife and when we had seen enough of a certain species, which is an important skill - after a few days, you can even get used to seeing elephants strolling along, believe it or not. 

Thank you, Richard, for showing our daughters and us your beautiful country!

We had a wonderful trip with Ricard in Lake Manyara, Serengeti, Lake Ndutu and the Ngorongoro Crater (a grandmother and two grandchildren). Richard knew everything about the animals, and he answered all our questions with patience! You feel safe when you drive with Richard. When we visited Tanzania, there was a lot of mud and other cars were getting stuck in the mud, but Richard had a great sense of when to turn the car and when to pass on. We would highly recommend Richard if you are going on Safari in Tanzania, and his English is very good! 

We have a 6 day safari tour, and Richard was a wonderful tour guide. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals, and their behaviors. On his tour, we saw EVERYTHING, and we never had a dull moment throughout the safari. Richard also knows everybody and he is very friendly. If there is another siting somewhere else, other guides will let Richard know. Our favorite day was when Richard took us into the Ngorongoro crater early in the morning to see the rhinos. I highly recommend Richard for your safari!
