RICHARD PETER

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!
