About Tanzania Memories

I've been in many places, with many different guides, and Rich from African Reflection Tours is a different league. Me and my son (18), spent with Rich 8 days in a safari journey (aka game driving - looking for the wild animals). Rich is a real professional, knows all roads and places by heart, took us to extremely special spots, arranged all lodges for us, came with a clean jeep and a professional uniform every day, surprised us with field tasty lunches, was attentive to our needs and requirement. And most importantly, did it all in a friendly and caring manner, always smiling. This is the best experience we ever had, and by far! We saw so many new exciting cultures, and many wild animals. Rich becmae a friend of ours. We will keep in touch. And if it wasn't clear so far - we highly recommend on Rich. Dear Rich - asante sana from both of us on an incredible experience we will always remember.

Asante sana Richard for our second awesome safari and birding adventure with you. We had such a great birding and gaming safari experience with you last year that we had to do it again. Richard, was professional, friendly and attentive to what we wanted to see and learn from our safari. We noted that every day, Richard was punctual, professionally dressed , arriving in a clean and tidy jeep. Our safari may have been bit of a detour from the proverbial tracking of the big 5. We are birders , so, with Richard's ornithological expertise, we collaborated in finding the feathered "gems" along the safari trail, while also looking for animals. We encountered a Vitelline Masked Weaver starting his nest building duties from a tree branch, plucking reeds from below, bringing them to the branch, weaving them with his bill, shaping what would become a gourd type house around his body. We were able to identify 140 species of birds, thanks to Richard's expertise. We both felt that our birding knowledge increased immensely from this trip. Thank you, Richard !Another highlight of our trip was witnessing a Wildebeest calving, "cheering on" the calf, wobbling his way into a new life. Can't forget the lioness, who summoned her rambunctious cubs from the bushes, leading them across water, gently nudging them along or picking them up by the scuffs of their necks- with utmost patience. What a mom !WE WILL BE BACK !!!

Richard was amazing and we'd totally recommend him and the company to anyone! We're already trying to plan our next trip!

Life-changing. Unforgettable. I simply can't say enough. My wife and I chose to fulfill a lifelong dream of going on an African Safari for our honeymoon and all our expectations and hopes were not only met but far exceeded. We originally had looked into using a Western tour company, however were advised by friends to work with locals as to better support the domestic economy- and we were so happy with our decision.From the moment we began booking- the process was easy, informative, and very secure. We were guided towards a tour, region and amount of time that best suited our interests and budget, and were provided a level of familiarity with the country that the non-Tanzanian companies we spoke to simply did not have.Then when we finally arrived- that's where the fun really began. We could not have asked for a better time in Tanzania, and it was all due to the wonderful and thoughtful hard work put in by our guide Richard. He took great care of us from the moment we met, and made sure that our every need, wish and interest were addressed. Richard is so clearly passionate about wildlife and what he does- and because of his expertise and knowledge we were able to see all of the Big 5, the Great Migration Wildebeest crossing across the Mara river, as well as tons of other animals moving about in their natural habitat. Richard always seemed to know exactly where to go, and could answer any question we had both about the animals as well as the local culture. Furthermore he made sure we were comfortable and happy as we celebrated our honeymoon- and most importantly he was personable, friendly and deeply kind. In the end, we felt that not only did we experience an unforgettable vacation, but that we also left with a dear new friend.So thank you so much Richard for one of the most incredible trips of our lives! If anyone is considering a Tanzanian Safari- Richard is the one!

We did a safari tour with Richard in September 2023 for our honeymoon. It was such an incredible experience made even more special by Richard's care to detail and passion for the animals. Every day we saw so many different birds, animals and reptiles. Richard had so much knowledge on every single one. He made us feel so comfortable and was so kind to us. Highly recommend his tour and getting to see the beautiful Tanzania!

This Fantastic safari guide makes all the difference. Rich shares his knowledge and experience from dawn til dusk. He knows and respects all the animals and their ecosystems.
